Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.  This week I am honored to have the wonderful Ginger Hardage on the show.

Podcast!  THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, aspiring leaders, managers, and anyone interested in leading effectively and building a successful and organizational culture.  TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… Happy employees make customers happy. When customers are happy they return. This is what helps you successfully take care of your shareholders. Too often organizations start backward, focus too much on pleasing shareholders at the expense of everything else. In order to build a successful organization that takes care of its employees and by extension its customers, it is important to address three main points. First, it behooves you to define your company culture and the values that matter to your organization and how you will live those out. Second, it is important to analyze and establish what makes your distinct purpose and value set unique. Third, you must focus on leadership alignment with your values–how are you as a leader, or your organization’s leaders living out the values of the company. Successful, servant leadership starts from the top down, and how we act backs-up what we say.  WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Speaking to Ginger, who has successfully driven this type of culture at an iconic organization like Southwest, about the power of focusing on your employees. Great advice on how to navigate the soft side     Running time: 35:59   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn    Find Ginger on social:  Twitter  Instagram  LinkedIn    Ginger’s Website:  Unstoppable Cultures
