Leadership Journeys [181] - Wais Shaifta - "The moment Work stops being a Hobby, I stop doing it"

  • Resumen

  • This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.

    I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.

    In this episode, we sit down with Wais, the CEO of Private Doc, who shares his fascinating journey from leading major companies like Push Doctor and Just Eat to revolutionizing the wellbeing industry.

    Wais delves into the intricacies of consumer-first strategies, the profound psychological impact of beauty treatments, and the evolution of digital healthcare.

    He offers valuable insights on leadership, emphasizing the importance of respecting team foundations and adapting management styles to diverse demographics.

    Discover how Wais balances high-stakes business decisions with a passion for his work, treating it as a hobby rather than a stressor.

    Whether you're navigating leadership challenges or seeking inspiration for your own career, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice.
