Hi, I’m Mike Soutar.

If you want to build the career you deserve, become a more influential leader and make better decisions in a world that’s changing faster than ever, you’re in the right place.

My book, Next Gen CEO, is packed with practical ideas, proven frameworks and memorable lessons drawn from decades spent building businesses, leading teams and working with some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs.

If you’d like to read the opening chapters – for free – then simply sign up and you’ll also get my weekly newsletter How To Lead Now.

Every week I share practical ideas, leadership lessons, career advice and insights from business, sport, politics and beyond. No jargon. No management theory. Just useful ideas you can put to work immediately.

I’ve spent my career building businesses, advising leaders and interviewing entrepreneurs under pressure on BBC’s The Apprentice. Everything I write is rooted in real-world experience.

Whether you’re leading a team, running a business or simply looking to take the next step in your career, I hope you’ll find something here that helps.

Follow me on LinkedIn where I post news and insights several times a week.
