S3. E2. At my best when taking on the incumbent with Fibrus Chairman Conal Henry

Conal talks about his adjustment to the CEO role at enet after a stellar career at P&G, Asda and Ryanair. 

What is different about the CEO role and how it took him time to realise that. Whilst everyone gets the theory of leadership, it´s only when in situ that “you quickly realise whether you have what it takes”

His sink or swim moment was recognising that when working for a start-up vs a blue chip “you´ll get found out in the P&L”

The importance of developing self-awareness, on what motivates vs demotivates you… something that most formal education and training leaves you unprepared for.

And whilst reluctant to give advice… to recognise that your job security depends on your CV not your employer.
