In today’s episode of Entrusted to Lead, I sit down with Bill Flynn, a leadership coach, author, and expert in business growth. Bill has worked with hundreds of companies and was a VP of Sales eight times, a CMO twice, and a GM of a $100 million IT service company before transitioning to coaching in 2015.
We unpack the principles from his bestselling book, Further, Faster: The Vital Few Steps That Take the Guesswork Out of Growth. Bill shares insights on leadership, team development, and why courage and vision are essential for lasting business success. Whether you’re leading a company, church, or nonprofit, this conversation will equip you with actionable strategies to drive sustainable growth.
Key Takeaways:
✔️ Leadership isn’t about authority; it’s about gaining trust and influence.
✔️ Vision and courage are two of the most critical elements of effective leadership.
✔️ Teams, not individuals, drive business success—learn how to build high-performing ones.
✔️ Systems thinking is the key to scaling any organization.
✔️ Leaders must be both courageous and compassionate to sustain success
Bible Connection: “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18).
