Bill Wrigt says he lost sight of his true north as a leader. He turned down the top job at honeywell three times to be number two in the company, much smaller than it used to be. But when i felt like a really great mission was coming home to him, and my job is to build that from what i can't take credit for - Jony Ive. Mr Wrigt: "If you're not going to focus on some leaders who haven't found their true north, let's hope they will"
What does it take to be a great CEO in 2022? Leading with a True North, and breaking down some of the crusty hierarchical structures. Some leaders get it, and some really don’t. During Bill George’s tenure at Medtronic, the company’s market cap rose from $1 billion to $60 billion. He believes that leading with authenticity is one of the reasons he was able to help do that. Ricky Mulvey caught up with George to discuss his forthcoming book, “True North: Leading Authentically in Today's Workplace” as well as: - How Best Buy CEO Corie Barry pivoted during the pandemic - Mark Zuckerberg vs Satya Nadella - Why more companies may benefit from giving CEOs a term limit - Mary Barra’s big goals at General Motors - How to find your own True North
