100: Ian Millner: Visionary Leadership: Moving Beyond Caution and Control

The Courageous Leaders Club

In episode 100 of the podcast, I speak with Ian Millner, Co-founder and Chair of Iris.
Join us whilst we discuss the importance of culture and having an employee brand that is exciting and visceral and that makes employees feel like they are a valuable part of the organisation.
Ian also shares the 3 pillars of effective leadership and what it means to lean into these
principles as leaders.
Key takeaways include:
● The frustration of seeing leaders being too cautious in their leadership
● Why you need to invest in an Employee Value proposition and care about your culture
● The opportunity to be a leader who can create and share their vision
● Why you should start by giving trust and not waiting for it to be earned
● Employing a moral compass, especially in high-stress situations
● Empowering people to make decisions, even if it leads to mistakes
● The significance of resilience, determination, and rational decision-making based on
firm purpose and values
Ian Millner is the co-founder and global Chair of Iris Worldwide, leading expansion into 17 countries with a focus on diversity, innovation, and entrepreneurship to challenge the status quo.
