Tanvir Bhangoo sits at the intersection of Technology, People, and Execution; unpacking the world of digital transformations through the pillars of leadership and culture, enabling leaders and teams to boost organizational performance and tackle change.Formerly, the VP of Tech at Freshii and at Director at RBI (3G Capital – Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes) Tanvir has led end to end digital transformations, like me - and so I was eager to connect with another accomplished leader in this space. He’s also a former college football player and that certainly influences how he approaches transformation on many levels. A relentless focus on building team culture, the importance of training and leadership. This episode gave us a unique opportunity to discuss two topics that I’ve been fascinated in of-late. Drawing inspiration from business, I’ve spoken with many national and Olympic-level athletes to better understand what we can learn from their experiences and apply in the business world.We’re in the 4th industrial revolution - one highlighted by the exponential growth of knowledge workers. How to attract, develop, engage and retain key people is an industry in the billions. Largely because we’ve applied tired, legacy thinking to the problem.Take the concept of rest. Any accomplished athlete will tell you that rest is an essential part of their training regimen. That mastering intentional rest and recovery can be the difference between winning and losing. So what then of our glamourized hustle culture that encourages people to work harder, longer and faster. What of our perpetually connected world where digital fatigue is at record levels?It’s one topic of many that we dig into over our nearly hour-long chat. And i hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. So without future ado,,,Tanvir BhangooTanvir firmly believes that culture, leadership, and adaptability are the keys to thriving in a digital future where uncertainty, tech commoditization, and AI is on the rise.
