In This Episode:
Recently Geoff Watts, Global Vice President of Human Resources for Wilson Sporting Goods, joined us to talk about what it takes to lead meaningful work in a hybrid culture today. Geoff shared insights for today’s leaders on how to give people what they want most: trust and meaningful work.
Key Learnings:
Trusting your people to do their best work unlocks high performance.
When you're clear where you're headed, why you exist, and what you stand for – it’s really easy for employees to want to be part of that, and to bring their full selves to work every day.
To support well-being, be clear about where you’re going as a business, the priorities that will help you get there, and how your people can support your growth.
Clarity empowers your people to step into responsibility to support leaders in a meaningful way while taking care of themselves.
When your people have the direction and clarity they need, it enables each person to design a life around meeting growth goals and making the personal choices around what matters to them
Invitation for Leaders:
As a people leader, consider answering these questions for yourself, then sharing the answers with your teams. This will give them the context they need to understand where you’re priorities lie and how they can bring your culture to life even more:
What were you most proud of last year?
What are your must-win battles for the rest of 2022?
How can you live your purpose even more?
“When organisations create a culture where people care about each other, it actually attracts people that care about people.”
“The best thing to do as an organisation is to be crystal clear on what you stand for and where you’re going. Then you’ll have people that want to help bring that to life.”
