Podcasts about best performing ceos

 In this episode of the TTL podcast, Andy and Mon-Chaio delve into the importance of technical skills and mindset in leadership roles, particularly as individuals transition from technical to management positions. Their discussions are anchored by research findings, such as an article hypothesizing technical competence loss in Boeing's leadership contributing to quality issues, and an HBR article highlighting that 24 of the 100 best-performing CEOs have engineering degrees. Mon-Chaio and Andy argue that while the technical execution may become less critical at higher leadership levels, a technical mindset plays a crucial role in problem-solving and decision-making. They also look at some job postings to dissect expectations on technical leaders, suggesting that a mix of technical understanding and leadership capabilities is essential. Please like, subscribe, and share your thoughts on how a technical background influences leadership effectiveness.

The Heart of Business: Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism by Hubert Joly, Caroline Lambert https://amzn.to/3G4k0Mz A Wall Street Journal Bestseller Named a Financial Times top title How to unleash "human magic" and achieve improbable results. Hubert Joly, former CEO of Best Buy and orchestrator of the retailer's spectacular turnaround, unveils his personal playbook for achieving extraordinary outcomes by putting people and purpose at the heart of business. Back in 2012, "Everyone thought we were going to die," says Joly. Eight years later, Best Buy was transformed as Joly and his team rebuilt the company into one of the nation's favorite employers, vastly increased customer satisfaction, and dramatically grew Best Buy's stock price. Joly and his team also succeeded in making Best Buy a leader in sustainability and innovation. In The Heart of Business, Joly shares the philosophy behind the resurgence of Best Buy: pursue a noble purpose, put people at the center of the business, create an environment where every employee can blossom, and treat profit as an outcome, not the goal. This approach is easy to understand, but putting it into practice is not so easy. It requires radically rethinking how we view work, how we define companies, how we motivate, and how we lead. In this book Joly shares memorable stories, lessons, and practical advice, all drawn from his own personal transformation from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant to a leader who believes in human magic. The Heart of Business is a timely guide for leaders ready to abandon old paradigms and lead with purpose and humanity. It shows how we can reinvent capitalism so that it contributes to a sustainable future. About the author Hubert Joly is the former Chairman and CEO of Best Buy. He has been recognized as one of the one hundred “Best-Performing CEOs in the World” by Harvard Business Review, one of the top thirty CEOs in the world by Barron's, and one of the top ten CEOs in the United States in Glassdoor's annual Employees' Choice Awards. Joly is now a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and serves on the boards of Johnson & Johnson and Ralph Lauren.

As we take a few weeks off before returning with Season 6, we dig into the back catalog for one of our most inspiring episodes. Our very special guest is Hubert Joly, former Chairman and CEO of Best Buy, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and the author of the just released bestselling book The Heart of Business: Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism.In a wide-ranging interview we explore Hubert's storied career as one of the world's leading CEO's, highlighted by Best Buy's transformation into a truly remarkable retailer. But we also delve into his personal evolution from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant who was all about performance optimization, to someone who saw leadership rooted in unleashing "human magic." Beyond the captivating details of Best Buy's renaissance--which include strongly defying the retail apocalypse narrative--we unpack the many leadership lessons from Hubert's powerful new book. Chief among them is becoming people-centric, not profit centric and discovering your brand's--and your own--purpose. He also strongly argues for a complete (and urgent) re-framing of the role of capitalism and presents a pragmatic guide to applying his principles. Our conversation is compelling, concrete and profoundly optimistic. You might also conclude you need to find a coach.About HubertHubert Joly  has been recognized as one of the one hundred “Best-Performing CEOs in the World” by Harvard Business Review, one of the top thirty CEOs in the world by Barron's, and one of the top ten CEOs in the United States in Glassdoor's annual Employees' Choice Awards.

His greatest achievement, however, may have been to make himself dispensable: he decided to step down as CEO in 2019 and as executive chairman in 2020, and pass the baton to a new generation of leaders.Hubert's purpose in life is to make a positive difference on people around him and use the platform he has to make a positive difference in the world. Besides serving on the boards of Johnson & Johnson and Ralph Lauren, he now spends most of his time as a lecturer at Harvard Business School and supporting other leaders seeking to become the best versions of themselves and to lead with purpose and humanity.

However, no one wants to follow these guys anymore. [5:20] The most important decision we make in business is who we put in power. [7:00] Before you begin to lead others, you first need to define your purpose and what you're hoping to achieve. [8:15] If a leader doesn't know, then it's okay to admit that. That's how you begin to connect with your team. [9:10] In times of crisis, leaders can still show authenticity and regulate their emotions. Hubert shares an example of a crisis he faced at Best Buy. [12:50] Reflecting back, Hubert can identify some key mistakes he has made throughout his career. One of these being with hyper-growth. [14:35] When it came to reopening certain stores during COVID-19, Best Buy's current CEO, Corie Barry, decided to create a list of principles. [15:10] These principles allowed for critical teams to be empowered and to take action without waiting for permission. [17:25] In Hubert's latest book, the heart of the business needs to be more than a revenue machine, it needs to pursue a noble purpose. [20:00] Leaders are very focused on being in the weeds of the business when they actually need to focus on the center of the business: the people. [21:35] Best Buy was able to align its people on a noble purpose. Hubert shares a story of how he was able to connect selling electronics to a bigger mission. [25:35] Don't just use your brain. Use your heart, your soul, and your guts. [28:45] Hubert was trained to create a plan, define the KPIs, measure it, and then put incentives in place. Guess what, people don't like that too much! People do not like being told what to do. [35:10] A lesson Hubert has learned in life is: A decision gets made by the decision-makers. You have to focus on what you can control. The good news is, there's a lot you can control! [38:50] Good leadership journey starts with reflection and the type of legacy we want to leave behind. [41:55] When it comes to bringing more women to the table, if a leader says she's not ready for the next big leap, we need to help change that outcome and bring more support to her. [43:45] In Hubert's book he has a call to action: It's our job to create a better future. We each have a part to play.   Quotable Quotes   “Our role is to create an environment in which others can be successful.”   “The first principle is we are going to care about the safety of our employees and customers.” “Instead of talking about the what, we talked about the why.” “We are a company that focuses on enriching lives through technology by addressing key human needs.”   Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Pass-life.com.

"I think people are a little startled that I was potentially on my way to go to rabbinical school to become a rabbi and now I work for a cannabis distribution company. And they're like... what do those things have in common?" Ben Poretzky graduated from the University of Pennsylvania to join Intuit's Product Management Rotational Program. After 2 years, he decided to travel the world and spend time in Israel where he was studying to become a rabbi. Then after meeting an inspiring entrepreneur, he was convinced to jump back into Product Management at Rise Logistics, a cannabis logistics company.

There are moments in our lives that can either make us or break us. When you are engulfed with the reality of a performance, what are the things you should do before even setting your foot on the stage? Harvard Business Review's Senior Editor Daniel McGinn shares self-liberating examples from his book Psyched Up. "If you haven't come up with a routine that lets you handle the flood of adrenaline you're going feel the moments before you walk on stage, it's going to detract from your performance." - Daniel McGinn 3 Things We Learned: Be prepared to deal with your make or break moments According to McGinn, there's a disproportionate thin slice of moments. Everyone can work as many hours in a year towards a goal but only a proportion of which can either make you or break you. How you set yourself up towards those moments matter. Market leaders usually don't look behind themselves too much Jeff Bezos and Amazon, for example, focus on the needs of their customers. Looking after competitors isn't that big of a priority. They create the rules and always refer back to their founding principles. Practice is never enough; exposure to reality is also necessary Train yourself to deal with the adrenaline, whatever industry or trade you belong. Be mentally prepared in order to perform at your very best. Otherwise, the anxiety will take away from your skills and hours invested. McGinn has always been fascinated with the moments in life. It started during his high school years. He saw how routines -- pep talks, trash talks, rituals, etc. -- equipped individuals in different circumstances and situations. How do you dominate a niche? How do you stay in the lead? What does science say about getting prepared to win? Perhaps, all you need is to get PSYCHED UP. Bio Daniel McGinn spent 17 years as a reporter, bureau chief, national correspondent, and senior editor at Newsweek, based on New York, Detroit, and Boston. In 2010, he joined Harvard Business Review where he now spends most of his time editing the IdeaWatch and How I Did It sections. He also manages the magazine's annual Best Performing CEOs in the World ranking and edits feature articles on topics including negotiation, sales, and entrepreneurship. His freelance writing has appeared in magazines including Wired, Inc., Fast Company, and The Boston Globe Magazine.
