Imagine: you’re in your 20’s. Overnight, you become the co-president of a 170-person company, with pretty much zero warning or preparation. What would your first day look like?

 

For Josh Block, it involved a lot of questions, and zero ego. And that’s the way he’s operated ever since.

 

Josh is the President of Block Imaging, a second-generation family business providing radiology and imagine equipment based out of Lansing, Michigan.

 

Josh's perspective on leadership was shaped by his early career working many different jobs with many different types of people. This allowed him to recognize the value and stability that employment brings to not only individuals but their families and ultimately the community as well—a mission he carries the banner for within his organization today.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

 

  • What it look like to truly leave your ego at the door as a leader—and its lasting effects on company culture
  • How Josh and his family use their business to engage in community development
  • How Josh has tempered his tendencies to want to rebuild for the sake of rebuilding for the betterment of the company
