When Matt Bodnar became CEO ofFresh Technologies, he took over a failing company and saved it from disaster. That felt great. Then he hit a wall: He couldn't seem to get this company to grow, or to fix its internal culture. He began suffering from self-doubt. He'd always wanted to be a CEO, and he initially seemed good at it, but now here he was… failing! After a lot of soul-searching, Matt came to an important realization: He needed to identify what he was good at, and then use those strengths. And that meant no longer being a CEO.
In this episode, we explore how Bodnar came to that conclusion -- and why it supercharged his career.
