Palm Tree Chairman and CEO, Pardis Nasseri, joins the Investors & Operators podcast hosted by Jordan Selleck with 51 Labs to discuss the importance of partnership as an entrepreneur, core values and their impact in business and reimagining leadership.

Pardis shares valuable insights on entrepreneurship and emphasizes that strong partnerships are key to business success, advising against 50/50 arrangements. Instead, it’s crucial to align goals, respect each other, and clearly define roles. True teamwork thrives when everyone leans on each other’s expertise.

Pardis and Jordan also highlight the importance of core values in shaping a company’s direction, suggesting that values are more effective than mission statements. By focusing on value creation, businesses can adapt to changing needs while staying true to their purpose.

Finally, they challenge traditional leadership ideas, advocating for a servant leadership approach that empowers teams. By being passionate about the business, building authentic relationships, and growing leadership skills alongside the company, entrepreneurs can position themselves for long-term success.
