S10-Ep21: Leadership Lessons from Shark Tank...and Beyond
Innovative Leadership InstituteEpisode Description
Guest: Shaan Patel, CEO of Prep Expert
Here’s an unexpected formula for success. Step 1: Get a lower score than expected on your SAT. Step 2: Parlay your disappointment into a multimillion dollar company.
That’s how Shaan Patel’s leadership journey began. It included a victory on Shark Tank, mentoring from Mark Cuban, and earning an M.D. It’s not the typical path to industry-leading CEO, but the lessons Shaan learned along the path are important for leaders in any sector. He shares those lessons with us in this episode.
Here's what Shaan and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
- Why winning is NOT the name of the game in business (but neither is losing!);
- How embracing change instead of fighting it puts you far ahead of the competition; and
- The mindsets Shaan keeps foremost to inform his leadership – and why that leadership is still evolving.
