Brad Englert on How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships
Brad Englert, a former CIO at the University of Texas at Austin, discusses his career journey and leadership insights. He emphasizes the importance of building relationships, mentoring, and understanding goals and aspirations, key themes in his book, Spheres of Influence. He also talks about AI’s potential impact, noting both its benefits and the risks of deep fakes and security breaches.
For Brad, traditional networking events are a waste of time. He calls them “glorified cocktail parties” and suggests if you are interested in that kind of experience, then by all means attend them. What works better? Building and nurturing key relationships over time. Brad’s wisdom is timeless, and you will walk away from today’s episode with some practical ways of moving your leadership practice forward.
