Every employee plays a role in customer experience, but they often follow the lead of the CEO. At Progressive Insurance, employees follow the customer-centric mindset of CEO Tricia Griffith, which has led to the company's stock quadrupling in the last four years. Although there are metrics to measure and processes in place, Tricia leads with her heart and isn't afraid to trust her gut. She puts people first by getting out of her office, taking customer calls, sitting in as agents handle claims, and surprising partners and customers with in-person visits. *Sponsored by Calendly Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future.
Tricia Griffith started her career at Progressive in the insurance giant's claims department. "I saw that there were not very many people that looked like me at the top," she tells Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt on this week's Leadership Next. "And we had to change that." Today, Progressive's board of directors is led by a woman and the board has gender parity. Griffith talks about the work it took to get to that point, and details DEI initiatives she's launched and supported over the years. "We've been working on this for probably 15 to 20 years," she says. Also in today's conversation: how Progressive is thinking about climate change, the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and the impact of inflation on the insurance business.

Mike is co-anchor for a weekly program “Leadership in Action” on SiriusXM Radio Channel 132, Business Radio Powered by the Wharton School. What You'll Find In This Episode with Michael Useem Michael pours his wealth of knowledge into this transformative episode on how leaders continually learn to ensure that they rise to meet the demands of the job. Leaders know that the job description is about the only thing regarding the position that fits nicely onto a sheet of paper. Many roles evolve as demands emerge and arise from multiple avenues. Michael pointed out the irony in the subtitle of The Edge, which is about CEOs learning to lead. He acknowledged that we might assume that CEOs know how to lead, but that's not always true.They need to learn how to lead provided the circumstances they find themselves within. Michael talked about the fact that for many leaders, what got you here won't get you there. Although not mentioned in the show, check out Marshall Goldsmith's book, What Got You Here, Won't Get You There, which we love. Don't miss what Michael says about Mark Turner and his learning tour. Michael says that leaders need to recognize their responsibility in leading the people they serve. This is what brings them to a point of wanting to learn more about learning to lead. You have to hear why Michael takes students to Antarctica and the Marine Corp. Michael mentioned Herminia Ibarra's book on reinventing identity. Check it out. Michael says that the single most important thing that a leader can do to grow is to get out of their comfort zone. Dr. Useem follows many sources for leadership, but often comes back to the Chief Executive of Progressive Insurance, Tricia Griffith. Learn about how she redefines what it means to be the Big Boss. Michael talked about looking at leadership as 360 but in reverse. We ought to think about leading our peers and the people above us, not just our subordinates. Don't miss what he says about having more impact. Oh, and yeah, wishing he could climb Mt. Everest. Michael talked about learning to lead by seeing others do it poorly. There's a lot to learn from setbacks and catastrophes. Don't miss how he describes the CEO of Tyco. Joe was reminded about leading to grow and thrive versus just to get by. Michael liked our last question and recalls asking CEOs what they find to be true that they didn't realize before. Lastly, Michael reminds us that leadership never really comes down to one thing, but a mission critical checklist. As always, let us know what you think of this with a like, a follow, or a comment.

Back in August 2019, the Business Roundtable—an association of chief executive officers of America’s leading companies—said that the Purpose of American business was no longer to maximise shareholder value but to instead promote an economy that ‘serves all Americans.’ “CEOs work to generate profits and return value to shareholders, but the best-run companies do more,” stated one Roundtable member, Tricia Griffith, President and CEO of Progressive Corporation. “They put the customer first and invest in their employees and communities. In the end, it’s the most promising way to build long-term value.” A lot’s happened since then, as we all know, but multiple events over the first few months of Lockdown seems to bear out the idea that Purpose really has become front of mind for many corporations right now. So we decided to find out more—and in this special new Season on the podcast, that’s what we’ll be doing: answering (if we can) the key question, Is Purpose Working? We’re joined on our journey by the super-smart ladies of RedThread Research, who have kicked off an in-depth, on-going probe into Purpose in parallel to our show. And even better, we’re being supported by a great ed tech firm equally interested in finding out an answer, too—NovoEd. Global enterprises rely on its collaborative online learning platform to build high-value capabilities that result in real impact, with its customers working to deliver powerful, engaging learning that activates deep skill development, from leadership to design thinking and digital transformation, as well as driving measurable business outcomes. It’s also well worth knowing that the Season culminates in a live online gated experience where I will be debate all the Learnings from the Season with RedThread, and you will be able to debate with us the implications and ask your questions and get your comments heard. Secure your free place at that today, over at www.novoed.com/purpose... then listen in to this scene setter, where I and Lead ‘Threadhead’ Stacia Sherman Garr set some goals and identify core Purpose topics, such as: why ‘Why we do what we do’ seems to be the best definition of Purpose we’ve foundwhy ‘cause’ isn’t the same as Purpose; why HR needs to get more involved when it comes to Purpose; some hints on some of the amazing writers, thinkers, venture capitalists and stakeholders coming on the Season; why are people coming together to work? the need to look at all the axes Purpose affects—leadership, people and systems; a new concept: the stake-giver; a quick progress report on RedThread’s ongoing Purpose research exercise; what Purpose in a Pandemic looks like; and much more.

Mindhunters, Inc., was created by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker in 1995, after John retired from the FBI. The two met five years earlier when Mark, a prominent author and filmmaker, was writing and producing a documentary on John’s Investigative Support Unit and criminal profiling at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. By then, John was already a living legend in law enforcement. As John contemplated retirement, he wanted to stay active in criminal justice, preserve the experience and knowledge he had pioneered for the Bureau, and tell his own story. He asked Mark to work with him, and in 1995 they published their first international bestseller, MINDHUNTER, which recounted the early days of the profiling program and Investigative Support Unit, and a number of John’s most important cases. Since then, John and Mark have developed a Holmes and Watson working relationship as detective and reporter, analyst and interpreter, combining their skills and experience to form a dynamic team. Tricia Griffith speaks wit Mark Olshaker about their latest book THE KILLER ACROSS THE TABLE. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/websleuthsradiopodcast/message

Tricia Griffith speaks with Websleuths member Thomas Hargrove of the Murder Accountability Project about a series of 51 unsolved murders of women in Chicago. The Murder Accountability Project, a nonprofit group, used Thomas Hargrove's algorithm to map 51 unsolved strangulation cases that took place on the west and south sides of Chicago between 2001 and 2018. The 51 murders have striking similarities: all the victims were women, most of the victims were discovered outside in a public place, 76 percent were African American, and 75 percent of the crimes had a “clear sexual component." Can an algorithm catch a serial killer? Detective Trapp podcast Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives.
