On this episode of Traits of Effective Leaders Podcast, Michael is joined by Paul Avey for another fascinating conversation about his experiences in CEO positions. Paul is currently Chief Executive Officer at Concept Environmental Services.

In this chat, he not only reflects on his time in the New Zealand Air Force but also his experience as a candidate himself. Paul discusses how to know when it is time to leave, struggles with self-awareness, why some leaders ‘just don’t get it’, as well as his favourite leaders throughout time and more. This conversation was rich with insight and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
