Monday morning thoughts... Enjoy the ride. A few years ago, I toured the Anheuser-Busch facility shortly after they were acquired by InBev. The tour of the facility was amazing but what stuck with me the most were the subtle inner-marketing campaigns throughout the plant. "Embrace the Change"... That simple phrase was on elevator doors, I pulled the tour guide aside and asked him to elaborate more on it. He stated that the message was for long-term employees who were struggling to adapt to the new ways of doing business... I was fascinated. As organizations evolve, things change and it can be difficult for employees to see the long-term goals. I advise folks to observe before passing judgement, small changes lead to big results, it just takes time and energy to put everything together. Happy Monday, have a great day yall!

Körber‘s key message at the 2023 Leadership Meeting is trust & collaboration. This was the common thread across all presentations by our group CEO Stephan Seifert, CFO Stefan Kirschke, CSO Rami Jokela and CTO/COO Erich Hoch as well as all the other speakers. We trust! We collaborate!" embodies our core principles at Körber. It signifies a commitment to building trust among our team members and fostering a culture of collaboration. Trust is the foundation upon which strong relationships and effective teamwork are built. It's about believing in each other's abilities and intentions. Collaboration, on the other hand, is the engine that drives innovation and success. We recognize that by working together, we can achieve more than any one of us could alone. This mantra serves as a constant reminder of our shared values, reminding us that trust and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do, both within our team and with our partners and clients. Körber Supply Chain USA was represented at the event by our CSO Andrew Glickman, our Head of Digital Business Vimal V. and myself. In the picture you can also see Lars Kaiser responsible for the rollout of global HR projects within Körber. #supplychain #culture #teamwork #strongertogether #wearekoerber #homeforentrepreneurs

Managing Director of Specsavers Northern Europe, Richard Owens, explains his philosophy for ensuring that the Specsavers vision remains on track. “In general, you can’t train someone to have different values, so we make sure to recruit people who are truly aligned with our values and behaviors. Our five Cs guide our behavior: collaborative, curious, courageous, compassionate, and commercial. But those five Cs constantly evolve in terms of what is expected of our leadership.” 🔑 Read the full article here: 👉 https://buff.ly/3Rwrdvc #GreatPlaceToWork #PioneersOfTrust #Workplaceculture #Specsavers

📍Today took place the CFF Hong Kong and Macau Townhall, where our management team addressed our employees for an annual review of the company's activities. For this occasion, I had the opportunity to support Jeff in the preparation of  his first intervention as managing director.   💭Reflecting on this experience, I want to share some key takeaways from Jeff's speech, focusing on essential leadership principles that, in my sense, contributed to its success:   📈Providing clarity and direction: The speech was simple and structured, clearly outlining the company's current position, objectives, and the path to achieve them. 🤜🏻🤛🏻Demonstrating accessibility and approachability: Emphasizing availability and approachability to the entire team. - "You all have my email, WhatsApp, and the door to my office is open for you," 💡Offering context and purpose: Alongside outlining the company's direction, Jeff explained the "why" behind it. By sharing the larger purpose and significance of our goals, he instilled a sense of meaning and motivation within each employee. 👏🏻Inspiring teams through celebration and challenge: Celebrating our recent victories, expressing appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our teams. Additionally, he challenged us to go the extra mile, encouraging continuous striving for excellence   And for you, what are the key leadership principles to do a successful speech?   Congrats again Jiafeng Chen you rock!! #onemetro #onecff

How often do I find myself saying that employee experience comes down to their leadership? About 50,000 times a day! I simply cannot stress it enough. It's why one of our themes of the accreditation is empathetic leadership. It's why when I'm asked what one thing an organisation should work on to be a better employer I will always say line management. And it's why I'm hosting the Inclusive People Leader for Camelot . Inclusivity is about being a good leader for everyone, not just the people like you, and that can be really hard when you haven't lived a day in their shoes. Later this month I'll be hosting the first session with Jeremy Lindley, Global Design Director at Diageo, the global leader in premier drinks. Diageo recently announced that they will be "creating the most inclusive and diverse culture is core to our Performance Ambition and rooted deeply in our purpose". Jeremy will be talking to be about why and how they honed their core values to not just cater for inclusivity but celebrate it - in all their designs, advertising & product positioning - in very practical ways. There is so much to be learned for people and business leaders on how to become even more Inclusive Leaders of the future. I hope you will join me! If you're interested let me know and I'll ping over a link 😊 #inclusivepeopleleader

“Choose courage over comfort.” A great rallying call from Penny Grivea who joined us this week for our first Leadership Breakfast of 2024. 🙏 She shared what she’s learned about leading from nearly a decade of phenomenal growth at Rituals cosmetics in the UK and Ireland. And we reminded ourselves that the best performing teams thrive on clear organisation and alignment. It might not be sexy but it’s what sets our teams up for success. Remember the 60-30-10 rule from Richard Hackman (who may or may not be brother of Gene): - 60% of team success is in the pre-work – clarity of team, structure, roles, responsibilities, support; - 30% is in how the team is launched -- getting everybody on board the bus, clear and energised; - and just 10% is in the active coaching. Hmmmm.... #leadershipskills #bcorp #cooklife

For that one, I had to replace the red GoreTex jacket with a proper tie... I've always been proud of Avon's Supply Chain and this feeling has been shared across the whole SC Team. Now, with a meaningful external recognition under #LeadersOfSupplyChainAwards banner, we can take this pride to a whole new level, along our ambition. Not arrogance, as these two can be easily distinguished by preparation and outcome. Safe to say that Avon's SC Team came to play and the business case for #OscarsOfSupplyChain was strong enough to justify both nomination and recognition at #20, among Top30 winners. https://lnkd.in/dTPsAR32 Thank you to the jury, Alcott Global, fellow peers. Humble words of respect to our business partners who understand the role of Supply Chain, fellow winners and all nominees. You're making it easy to recognize that SC is THE place to be. #GameOn has gone global 😎 .

It was a pleasure having Heidi H. and all of the other industry pioneers at our HR round-table yesterday. Our speakers shared such insightful learnings about the role of HR in achieving business success. We touched on the importance of people and culture, and how every person in an organization can, and should contribute. That is why, HR departments and leaders need to be able to play their pivotal part. If you're in HR and you missed this event, our next one is coming up soon!
