What will you learn
from this video?
Managers often speak about successes, but we at Leaders Island know that we learn the most from failures and setbacks. That’s why, during the Li Insights meeting we produced a program with the aim of … speaking about defeats. The following took part in the program:
Dariusz Marzec
President of the Board of Ekstraklasa SA. Co-founder of the SAIA advisory cluster. Once a professional basketball player in the Stal Stalowa Wola first-division team. A graduate of, among others, the University of Economics in Krakow and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw. He has managed the sales and marketing departments of large corporations (including L’Oreal and Monster Energy), and until recently Legia Warszawa. As befits a manager with a sporting background, he has set himself an ambitious KPI: doubling the attendance at Polish stadiums.
Jerzy Sikorski
A manager in the medical industry who specialises in business incubators. An independent consultant, advisor and board member of many companies, lecturer in the London Business School and Business Development Lead & Executive in Henley Business School. Recently, the main area of his interest is start-ups, which he supports professionally from the idea stage to management until the moment when… they stop being start-ups. His life path from his birth in a camp for Polish war immigrants in the UK to the highest positions in business (mainly in the medical and bio-technological branches) is a subject for a long and fascinating tale.
Krzysztof Grucela
A business advisor. 12 years of managerial experience in the sales, financial control, audit and operational departments of Coca Cola Hellenic. His motto for life is: “You have the greatest influence on your life yourself”.
