Turnaround Mindset (Part 2) with Sean McGuire

Sean is a turnaround guru.  In his wide ranging professional experiences in helping distressed companies to restructure and turnaround, he has observed lots of organizational patterns that may have contributed to tough times.

In this second part of our epic conversation together, Sean and I discuss: 

• A therapy metaphor for adopting a turnaround mindset
• How to develop a coalition on your team to get ideas heard
• An argument for in-person work (vs. remote) to facilitate healthy friction on a team

We also dig into Sean's questions about the senior living industry at 25 min. 31 sec.

• How has senior living been disrupted in the last 15-20 years (pre-COVID)? 
• Making senior living a service and not just a place.
• An idea for a senior services marketplace.

Summary of episodes 1 and 2 in one sentence: the best time to face disruption is as a healthy company when you have all the resources to address it.
