Thank you for Hearing Me with Kieran Bowers

Upreneur

The Upreneur podcast has partnered up with SCORE, hosted by Jeremy Straub, to help bring engaging conversations with today’s top leaders and business owners. In today’s episode, we spoke with Kieran Bowers, President of Swire Properties Inc, to discuss how working with different cultures allowed him to be self-aware of the bias he may have, how adapting your manager style based on your employee's culture allows you to get the best out of your teams, and When joining a new department, he spends his time with the people to get a better understanding on what needs to happen going forward. It's not about making your mark, but creating sustainable plans.
