Leadership Secrets

Joe Carbone on Developing a Great Team and Connecting with Your Customers

Episode Notes

Joe Carbone is CEO of Eastward Partners, an executive search and human capital consultancy. Our conversation was full of great leadership ideas. Here’s what we discussed:

• Connecting with your customers is key. Understand their needs and focus on fulfilling them.
• Leadership is a privilege. Bring your true self every day.
• His leadership philosophy is to always put the team above the individual. Joe feels like he works for his team rather than them working for him.
• It’s important for leaders to connect with their team individually, understanding what’s going on in their lives, their families.
• When you share your vision, what’s possible, people get excited and want to be a part of it.
• Always invest in yourself and seek executive coaching. Joe sees a coach weekly.
• His brand follows a Pablo Picasso quote: “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” Help people become the best version of themselves.
