Please join me in welcoming Oleg Konovalov.

In this episode we discuss:

his thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is not about solving for today. Leadership is defining what the future will be and how to lead people into that future.” Oleg’s focus on thinking forward and how to unlock your mindset to be a better leader. why it’s OK to be a troublemaker. his focus on being of service to those around him. why his favorite saying is “if you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room” and why that’s important to him. Oleg’s interesting take on accolades and awards vs. always working hard. his collaboration with his colleague, John Spence, who I will be interviewing in a future episode. Oleg’s definition of coaching and why he only coaches people in specific topics. how he uses time zones to his advantage for connecting and engaging with others. how he nurtures and sustains the outer layers of his network.
