If you enjoy this episode please leave me a voicemail and possibly get featured on the show: https://www.speakpipe.com/rebeldiariesvoicemail
Vaughn is the co-founder of Results-Driven Leadership. He is not your average leadership development expert.

What Scott discusses with Vaughn
- How one boss influenced him for the rest of his life
- How people are promoted with little to no experience or training to be leaders
- Why he'd had enough of having a boss
- Why he asks people to tell them about the best and worst bosses they have had
- 80% of all new managers fail in the first 18 months
- Management afraid of confrontation and the impact it has

He then spent several years at investment firm Man Group in a senior strategy role.
A self-confessed maths geek, Chris was extolling the benefits of pensions and compound interest from an early age.
