'Judging a Book By Its Cover' Rob Gardner

Andy Lopata's guest this week on the Connected Leadership Podcast is Rob Gardner. Currently Rob is Chairman of Investments at St James' Place but has had a varied career and has many charitable interests as well as having written a successful children's book based on earning money, keeping money, growing money. Andy and Rob discuss the significance of meeting new people and then judging the book by its cover.  Rob encourages avoiding stereotypes when meeting people and using curiosity rather than making assumptions that are often untrue. 'Do your homework' before the conversation is the best advice in developing relationships. Also, knowing your purpose and being clear on the best way to invest your time.
