FutureThink Podcast

In this episode we talk to Jan van der Spoel from Grip on Trust about the importance of building business cultures with a solid base of trust for all of our people. Jan explains just how important this is in order to create an adaptable and innovative business in the future. This, Jan believes is one of the critical roles of the leader to create a safe environment for people to create, and being permitted to fail while ultimately evolving by creating great products that solve problems and deliver value for all stakeholders. Jan also explains why trying to be future-proof is missing the point, and why being future excited is just so much more inspiring and motivating!Jan will be speaking at the FuturePrint Leaders Summit 29th-30th June in Geneva.Visit the FuturePrint Leaders Summit WebsiteSubscribe to the FuturePrint podcast nowVisit the FuturePrint websiteVisit the Grip on Trust websiteConnect with Jan van der Spoel on LinkedInConnect with Marcus Timson on LinkedIn
