In this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Vinay Raman to explore what it really takes to move companies and cultures from reactive to responsive. Vinay challenges traditional leadership thinking, starting with why he doesn’t even like the word employees. Instead, he sees people as experts the ones closest to the work, standing on the mountains where real insight lives. They talk about what business leaders can learn from Olympians, why progress comes from asking better questions (not having all the answers), what humans bring to the table that AI never will, and why perspective matters more than raw intelligence when it comes to growth and decision-making.
