Being Vulnerable to Grow with Sonny Hobbs

You hear it a lot ..."be vulnerable". Why is this so important for a business owner to understand and do? Listen to this conversation with Sonny Hobbs, Founder of Culleoka Company, as he explains. He clearly outlines that it is a work in progress along our journey through life.  

As we, Gray Solutions, work with business owners across many industries, we find that those that work hard at being vulnerable and authentic with their teams generally have built a better culture. The trust in the organization is allowed to flourish and grow to levels of high-performance. 

We talk about culture being the great differentiator from one business to another. One of the key components of the best cultures is the ability of the leaders to be vulnerable. While being vulnerable to some may sound weak, it actually takes strength and courage to exhibit vulnerability as a leader. It's admirable. 

Listen in and learn more. In this episode we talk about the following as he carries us on an over twenty year journey of starting, growing and selling a business:

Simplicity 

Starting on a shoe string

Burn out and beyond

Being vulnerable and assessing your self as a leader

Saying sorry and meaning it

Selling a business and the importance of culture

Relationships are king

And Sonny's parting words are awesome - "Don't be afraid to get mud on your shoes."
