“Leaders create leaders by passing on responsibility, creating ownership, accountability and trust” James Kerr - Legacy: What The All Blacks Can Teach Us about the Business of Life In this episode, Andrea is joined by Michael Hansen, the CEO of Hempel based in Denmark. Michael talks about the role of sustainability in the future success of companies, his approach to people and the human element in being a CEO and also about the unique challenges leaders face in the workplace today including retaining talent. Michael and Andrea also talk in-depth about how important culture is to a company and what you can do as a CEO to influence it. KEY TAKEAWAYS It usually takes around 6 months for a CEO to learn the basics about a new organization, up to this point they are mostly learning and not making any big rash decisions. Hempel wants to ensure they are a leading industry enterprise and having this goal acts as a ‘lighthouse' in difficult and more challenging times. Sustainability and how companies can contribute to their industries and their clients will determine the future success of many companies. People, financial robustness, customer-perceived uniqueness and giving back to society are the 4 pillars Michael believes you need for a successful company. Michael is passionate about understanding the realities of colleagues across the world and the differences in leadership style and other attributes to unleash the power to generate the best results. Michael has actively engaged himself to find out why there are so many challenges for women in his organization and what he can do to directly influence this. Asking questions and speaking to people directly, allows a CEO to get a true insight into the company culture, struggles and more. Hempel gives back to society in various ways including via their solutions and products and also by giving and supporting schools and by protecting biodiversity too. Attracting and retaining the best people is one of today's most difficult tasks. The talented colleagues of today are always looking for the best opportunities for them and they have more options than ever. You have to work on building an environment where they thrive or they will leave. One formula doesn't work for all employees but if you can instill the right leadership culture and environment, you can help retain good talent. A CEO has a huge impact on a company culture and this can be both negative and positive. A CEO can engage with many more employees by creating the right culture for them than they can by trying to talk to and lead every single one individually. Stay curious, always be open to learning from others, regardless of who they are.9 BEST BITS “That was a deliberate choice in that we needed to continue to grow at an accelerated pace but in an intelligent way” “We want to make sure we are among the leading 5 companies, that guide some choices” “We should listen to our leaders, but we should also listen ourselves, closer to the frontline” “It's a very mobile workforce we have today, it's a very ambitious workforce” “Culture can drive performance, but it can also drive engagement in employees” VALUABLE RESOURCES Michael's Book Recommendations: Legacy: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us about the Business of Life The Founder's Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth Like the show?

1/3 de ce que l'on produit dans le monde est gaspillé. C'est une réalité qui fait mal. Alors pour remédier à ce grand gaspi généralisé, Jean co-fonde Phenix en 2014. Son ambition est simple (mais forte) : connecter ceux qui ont trop avec ceux qui n'ont pas assez. Comme Robin des Bois. Mais le chemin n'a pas été facile. Il a fallu évangéliser le marché. Changer les mentalités. Et essuyer les plâtres. Raison pour laquelle il a dû adapter à plusieurs reprises son business model. SaaS puis trading desk, puis marketplace et (re)SaaS. Le cheminement est bluffant. Passionnant. Et riche en enseignements. En plus, ça marche : 120 millions de repas sauvés depuis le lancement. Aujourd'hui, Phenix c'est :

Notre invitéQu'est-ce qui fait rester les commerciaux ?« Quand tu les mets dans des positions où ils sont CEO de leur territoire, c'est comme ça que tu obtiens 150% des commerciaux. Parce qu'intrinsèquement les gens ont envie de se dépasser et d'avoir un impact. »L'autonomie et la responsabilisation, c'est une culture à développer dès le premier jour..Dans ce 3e épisode de Vive La Vente, Julien Lesueur reçoit Gaëtan Gachet, Chief Strategy Officer chez Algolia, une licorne française qui compte aujourd'hui plus de 10 000 clients dans 100 pays, dont des grands comptes comme Lacoste, Universal Music et Ouest France.Gaëtan connaît bien ces sujets de culture commerciale puisqu'il a rejoint Algolia fin 2013 en tant que second employé de la boîte et premier responsable commercial.

Is your company in the midst of the Predictable Crises of Growth...Of Overload? Of Stall-Out? Of Free Fall? Why is profitable growth so hard to achieve and sustain? Most executives manage their companies as if the solution to that problem lies in the external environment—find an attractive market, formulate the right strategy, win new customers. But when Bain & Company's Chris Zook and James Allen, researched this question, they found that 85% of the challenges to growth are internal—proliferating processes and bureaucracy, loss of accountability, and increasing distance from the front lines, to name a few. More crucial is their finding that companies experience a set of predictable internal crises, at predictable stages, as they grow. If not managed properly, these crises can stifle even the healthiest company's ability to grow further—and actively lead it into decline. Today, NEXT Academy Co-Creators Chad Jones and Cody Phillips attempt to pull out leadership lessons that they feel can help contractors create a competitive advantage through rediscovering their Founder's Mentality and give actionable steps to re-establish it within your organization. This book is #DYNAMITE

We are excited to welcome Tim Hoskins today. Tim is the President of Quester, an insights and strategies company. He is joining us today to talk about his journey and driving business results. Tim’s journey While in college, Tom needed a job, so he answered an ad for a lead-generation specialist at an information security startup. He worked there for two years while he was in college, and then post-college, he got hired by the same company and started as a sales rep. In the startup world, you get to do everything, and Tim did not like not knowing all the answers, so he read the entire manual. He also started taking all the developers out to lunch to pick their brains, and that led to him becoming the Sales Engineer. His final role there was as a Product Manager. A consultant doing some work for Quester reached out to Tim, so he left the startup world to join Quester. He did not realize at the time that the company was, in fact, a forty-year-old startup. There, he worked in client services, became the head of sales and marketing, and about five or six years ago, he got promoted to President. The history of Quester Dr. Charles Cleveland, the founder of Quester, was a professor at Drake University. He started the company as a communications company with a foundation in linguistics, and they spent years doing qualitative research. They always applied linguistic analysis techniques to help drive communication. The founder’s dream was for executives on the client-side to look at a qualitative insight with the same confidence as a quantitative insight, someday. Dr. Cleveland passed away suddenly in 2005. The company was then purchased by three partners who kept on pushing forward with the technology and the same vision. In 2006, they launched the first, simple version. In 2007, they started to develop artificial intelligence, and the team has been working on that ever since. The current technology at Quester Today, Questor’s technology fully automates a one-on-one interview of up to forty minutes with a consumer. Those interviews are chat-based, or consumers can leverage the voice-based software on their phones. What their technology does Their technology analyses people’s responses and identifies a key or interesting idea that they are communicating. It then delivers a contextual-based follow-up question to find even more information. 2011 In 2011, the industry was not ready for artificial intelligence. Proving themselves There are always clients out there who know that you can’t solve the same problem with the same solution every single time. Those people give companies like Quester a chance to prove themselves. And that gives the rest of the market the confidence that those companies can do what they say they can do. The culture The average tenure of a Quester employee is seven years. Their culture is one of a family, and they do their best to have the mentality of a startup every single day. Insurgent mission The book, The Founder’s Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth, helped Tim and his team to focus on finding their insurgent mission and the reason for their existence. Driving business results They came to realize that their mission was not about the technology or the linguistic and qualitative analysis. It was about driving business results for their clients. You can’t have a business result unless you have strong and differentiated insights. And you can’t get strong and differentiated insights unless you have a different methodology to collect and analyze data. The company that delivers business results Tim and his team decided that they wanted to stand for the company that delivers business results. Behind every business result is a great strategy, and behind every great strategy is a consumer-centric insight. Changing in one year In 2018 and 2019, they changed their marketing. They doubled down on strategic insights,

Do you know why Steve Jobs insisted that the original iPhone have only one button? Because nothing succeeds like simplicity. Take out your iPhone, if you have one, and compare it to a Comcast remote. See the difference? Sleek simplicity versus mind-boggling complexity. We all know that simplicity increases speed and fuels business growth. But we seem to be stuck with clunky, cumbersome business systems. And they multiply like rabbits! Hiring, project approval, communication tools, and even expense reporting can be numbingly complex and tedious. We feel that too, which is why we recently simplified one of the main aspects of our business, our software solutions. We now use a combination of only four products to run our business: G-suite, Slack, Spark, and Asana. Are they the best tools out there? We don't know, but they're the simplest ones that meet our needs. We're collaborating faster and better than ever before. And our team loves it. Simplicity always wins. In this episode, we show you how to simplify your business systems. Not just tech, but everything you do. Our chief content officer, Joel Miller, joins us to explain why complexity is such a huge problem for many businesses, and how you can eradicate it with four deliberate actions. Here's an overview of this episode— Joel explains why complexity multiply so quickly in a business. We talk about the subtle clues that complex systems, not true business needs, are creating the need for more staff. We offer tips to help you recognize complexity creep. Michael opens up about the a-ha moment when he realized the need to simplify our product line. We give real-world advice for eradicating complex systems from your business. One more thing. After you listen to this episode, don't be afraid to take the plunge and start eliminating tools, processes, or even products that are slowing you down. Sometimes it's hard to let go, but you will never regret making your business simpler and more responsive. You can do this!

85% of breakdowns in companies are traceable to internal root causes. Only 13% of people working in business in North America feel any connection to their company’s purpose. These surprising statistics lead us to ask, why do some companies lose their soul, age prematurely, and stall out while others sustain profitable growth? Chris Zook, best-selling author of The Founder’s Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth, and partner at Bain & Company, discusses how the most successful companies maintain the founder’s mentality—an insurgent’s clear mission and purpose, an unambiguous owner mindset, and a relentless focus on the front line. Based on 5 years of research, visiting 40 countries, conducting 150 interviews, and creating a database of over 8000 companies, Chris teaches us how leaders can overcome the predictable crises in a company’s lifecycle and set it on a path of sustainable and profitable growth.

My guest today is Chris Zook, a business writer and partner at Bain & Company, leading its Global Strategy Practice. He is listed by The Times (London) as one of the world's top 50 business thinkers. Zook received a B.A. in mathematics and economics from Williams College, a M.Phil. in economics from Exeter College, Oxford University, and a MPP and Ph.D in Public Policy Analysis from the Harvard Kennedy School. Zook is an author of books and articles on business strategy, growth, and the importance of leadership economics, including the Profit from the Core trilogy. The topic is his book The Founder's Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: The founder's 100 What keeps millennials in their jobs Frontline obsession Sense of insurgency Owners mindset Founders disease Meritocracies Jump in! --- I'm MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I'm proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.

Chris Zook is co-author of “The Founder’s Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth.” The work leading to “the founder’s mentality” started for Chris about 5 years ago. It is predicated on, “What are the deep root causes that allow some companies to stay young, stay energetic, and be sustainable in their performance over time?” Only 1 in 10 companies sustain a modest level of growth over a decade. Chris, and his co-author James Allen, found that when the founder of a company was still evolved and their presence was still looming, companies had about three times higher performance than other companies where the founder had stepped away. Chris elaborates on their research process and the steps he and James took in writing “The Founder’s Mentality”. A deep sense of insurgency, frontline obsession, and an owner’s mindset are the three characteristics that make up the founder’s mentality. Keeping an open mind at all times and willingness to adapt to your company’s growth is key. When companies fail to be open minded, they become short term minded. Chris has found a great response from this way of thinking. He has now written 5 books over the last 12 years on this topic and all have been extremely well received, especially his latest work, “The Founder’s Mentality”. People are searching for happiness in their work and Chris is helping outline how to get there. He helps people own the customer service experience in their company. Chris and Michael use Nokia as a great example of an industry leader that failed to adapt. Nokia was the first to use email on phones, they were huge in cameras, and had the first smart phone but they failed to be innovative enough and became institutionally closed minded. Ultimately what looked like a tech company that could not have died, ended up committing suicide. Chris uses Starbucks as another example of a company that started something special, but as soon as the company moved away from what Howard Schultz, the founder, had started they began to crumble. After profits started to take a hit, Howard Schultz was asked to come out of retirement and revive the company. Starbucks was self inflicting wounds that were unraveling the core of the Starbucks experience. Michael and Chris wrap up the podcast giving a few more examples of companies that caught what he calls the “founders disease” or lost the owners mindset. In this episode of Trend Following Radio: The founder’s 100 What keeps millennials in their jobs Frontline obsession Sense of insurgency Owners mindset Founders disease Meritocracies
