Leadership Lessons: Growing and Leading a Family Business

Leading a business is hard. Leading Family Business is even harder as one has to work with familial ties and legacy.  That said, our guest on this episode had a completely different experience as the family business was handed over to him.   Meet Mr. Jaber Abdul Wahab, the group CEO of Bridgeway Group. Bridgeway Group is a transnational conglomerate operating in multitude industries. One may think that when you come from a business family, you naturally grow skills to learn how to run a business. In Jaber"s case that was not true.  Surbhi Dedhia, host of #TMTLPodcast, had a meaningful conversation with Jaber as he shares: Why he defines himself as one and a half generation of family run business and not the second generation leadership?In the early days of taking over the business, when the decision literally meant identifying sharks and dolphins and then choosing to swim in the ocean accordingly.How he used his learning from Engineering to adapt and learn on the go.The challenges of growing a legacy business, expanding into new sectors and securing profitability.Pivots during the pandemic and the testing time for his leadership.What is his role as a leader to drive the brand Bridgeway within different companies.How he is building his own thought leadership internally and externally.Lastly, his message to all the budding entrepreneurs. This episode is power-packed and covers vast array of topics.  Jaber"s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaber-abdul-wahab-75572721/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jaberpv Bridgeway Group: http://bridgewaygroup.com/ Thank you for listening!
