Should all leaders be entrepreneurs? Should all entrepreneurs be leaders?

Is that even something you could outsource?

James Horne and I discuss the challenge of entrepreneurship and leadership, the good, the bad and the deeply challenging. Join us while we answer these questions and many others in an episode that seeks to help business owners and organisational leaders consider where their strengths really lie - and then plan in the best way for business success.

I'm your host, Rachel Woods, Coach and ex corporate HR leader now supporting those shifting between management and true leadership. I'm delighted to introduce my guest for this first episode of the second season of 'We're Human', James Horne.

With over 35 years of senior leadership experience, James has a track record of driving major growth via comprehensive strategic and operational insight. This includes establishing and growing companies to market leading status.

Starting his career in Shell UK Oil, James learnt much about corporate life and was brand manager for Unleaded petrol when this was first launched. James left Shell and found himself consulting for Shell in the Benelux countries whilst also starting his own food business CCL Foods plc. The creation of PizzaExpress salad dressing that became the UK’s #1 selling dressing along with many other products such as Mary Berry’s sauces and dressings established a highly successful business that was eventually sold to Baxters Food Group.

Experienced across sectors with companies of all sizes from start-up to large international corporates, James has proven skill turning around struggling organisations, generating funding, developing brands, creating effective market strategy and establishing strong corporate governance frameworks.

James thrives on coaching and mentoring, empowering individuals and entrepreneurial organisations to exceed their expectations and recently became a Professional Implementor of EOS, the renowned Entrepreneurial Operating System created by Gino Wickman.
