440: What Every GM Needs to Hear About Family, Culture & Empowerment w/ Desi Speh
Manage episode 480683969 series 1025507
In this episode, we chat with Desi Speh, COO at Desert Highlands in Arizona.
A guy who’s quietly redefining what club leadership can look like.
Desi’s not the loudest voice in the room, but his impact is undeniable.
From turning valet service into a culture-defining moment (ice cream cooler included 🍦) to mentoring staff into leaders, his philosophy is simple: lead from the heart, empower your people, and always keep perspective.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- Why empowerment beats micromanagement (every time)
- How to build a culture where even the dishwasher feels ownership
- How Desi’s failed marriage made him a better GM, dad, and husband
- The one piece of advice that changed his leadership forever
- And why sometimes, the best ideas come from valet
Whether you're managing a club or leading a team, this one’s packed with real-life takeaways you’ll want to implement immediately.
