About this episode
Carlos Rojas Aboumrad discusses family business management, innovation, and servant leadership.
Carlos is the CEO of Rotoplas, a family-controlled Mexican water products and services company with operations across the Americas. This is at its core a conversation about managing a Family business; the long arc of preparing the next generation to lead, and knowing when to step aside. Recognising when perpetuating a business for the long term requires a new skillset. In this episode Carlos talks in depth about his focus on embedding innovation processes across the company. We also cover his evolution as a leader, how through personal trauma he discovered the concept of servant leadership and how it allows him to find balance and continue to push forward personally and professionally. There is a lot to take away here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
