Leigh Rust: Passionate About Personal Development and Constant Learning
Innovative leaders believe in constant learning. They learn in a variety of ways. They are filled with great insights that allow them to make smart business decisions that count.
One such innovative leader is Leigh Rust, who is passionate about constant learning and someone who likes to take calculated decisions and make them count. Leigh is the Co-founder and Director of Safetyline Jalousie — an Australian louver window manufacturer. Leigh established the company alongside his brother Nathan in 2010 after they spent 10 years working at their father’s manufacturing business Vergola.
Drawing Inspiration From Great People and Authors
Leigh has certainly drawn a lot of inspiration from his father and uncle over the years. Growing up, having both of these figures in his life be in business certainly had a big impact on him and the path he chose.
Outside his immediate circle, Leigh is also inspired by business leaders including Mark Bouris and Sir Richard Branson. As someone who’s passionate about fitness and mindset, Leigh also draws inspiration from David Goggins and “Jocko” Willink who are both US Navy SEAL veterans and authors.
Leigh is passionate about personal development and constant learning, so he loves to read. A couple of books he has recently read which he highly recommends are The Art of Resilience by Ross Edgley, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park, and Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl.
Working Towards Shared Objectives
In Leigh’s position at Safetyline Jalousie, he is involved in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the company, including finding and pursuing new business opportunities and working on new product launches.
One thing that’s always been at the core of the company is a commitment to manufacturing its products locally to keep jobs onshore and help to stimulate the economy.
