Business Leadership Failures from 2019-WeWork


This week I have a special five-part podcast series where I am joined by Amii Barnard-Bahn to review some of the top business leadership failures of 2019.  Today, in our first episode, we take a look at leadership lessons from the rise and fall of Adam Neumann, the former CEO of WeWork. Some of the issues we explore in this podcast include:

  • How did a charismatic, eccentric and inexperienced Founder CEO went boom ($47B valuation) to bust, all in the space of a few short months?
  • How and why did Neumann create a toxic culture with major conflicts of interest and poor corporate governance.
  • Neumann was forced out, the company’s IPO postponed and its future remains to be seen.
  • Have investors have finally had it with startups that aren’t following basic rules of monetary gravity? Have we turned a corner?
