Timo Boldt, Gousto Founder & CEO—Intentionally Stretch Yourself
Manage episode 299749885 series 2782630
Today’s guest is Timo Boldt, Founder and CEO of Gousto, the largest meal kit company in the United Kingdom, which Timo founded at the ripe old age of 27. In the last seven years, its valuation has grown to over one billion dollars!
That is some seriously impressive growth.
And you’re going to love hearing how Timo and his team have done it.
He is constantly pushing himself and his company to grow and get better. They’ve been through all the standard founder-led challenges and have come through them with a culture that’s obsessed with delivering great value, working collectively, and dreaming big dreams.
It takes a lot of intention to push yourself and stretch your beliefs. But it’s worth it. Because to paraphrase Timo, setting mediocre targets is a really good way to get mediocre results!
This conversation is basically a blueprint you can follow if you want to find creative ways to stretch yourself and your team and go for big goals.
You’ll also learn:
- The most crucial aspect of leadership that no one will teach you at business school
- How to push for high performance while still being supportive of your team
- The #1 mistake every founder should avoid when making their first senior hire
- One practical (and fun) strategy any leader can use to stay connected to a fast-growing business
- Why feedback to your employees isn’t enough – and how to actually apply it
