About this episode

As a leader, do you feel like it’s your job is to have the answers? It’s not. It’s to remove the obstacles. JP and Neil sit down with Jesper With-Fogstrup, CEO of Moneypenny, to talk about what inspirational leadership actually looks like when you strip away the clichés. Jesper is clear: leadership isn’t about control it’s about unblocking. It’s about creating the conditions where teams can challenge you, disagree with you, and still move fast together. He says 10% of your team’s job should be disagreeing with you. Jesper also argues that vague objectives kill momentum, and that accountability without trust is just disguised micromanagement. This is a conversation about clarity, courage, and the discipline of execution. In this episode: Why a leader’s real job is to remove friction How structured disagreement strengthens performance Why specificity beats vision statements every time The power of cross-functional alignment If you’re still trying to inspire people with slogans instead of structure, this one might sting. Press play. Unblock your team. Join the rebellion. https://perfectrebel.com/
