1/2 Adrian Simpson: High-performing Organization in a Talent Desert


Listen Later

In 1982 Tom Peters wrote the ground-breaking book "In Search of Excellence." When that book was published, Chairman Mao had recently died; China was making little progress in closing the economic gap between China and the industrialized nations.

Here we are, more than 40 years and a digital revolution later, China has become the second largest economy in the world. The UK has left the EU and we had the 2008 global recession and a recent pandemic. That's just a quick overview of some business changes since the 1980s. A natural question is, what does it take to create excellence in today's multi-generational workforce?

Post-pandemic leaders have faced the Great Resignation, followed quickly by the phenomena known as Quiet Quitting. How, with all this going on, can we become high-performing organizations during, what appears to be, a talent desert?

Let's find out. Our guest for the next two episodes is Adrian Simpson. Adrian is the co-founder of Wavelength Companies. For 30 years, Adrian has taken over 1,500 leaders physically and virtually inside the boardrooms and shop floors of some of the world's most admired, successful, and progressive organizations. In recent years he has taken clients to Silicon Valley, China, and India to visit the likes of Apple, Alibaba, Airbnb, Tesla, Netflix, Lego, Ritz-Carlton hotels, Aravind Eye Care System, and Southwest Airlines.

Recently, Adrian's hosted live virtual symposiums with the CEOs of IKEA, Unilever, and the President of Four Seasons, and ran a two-day Inside Digital China Event that took 120 clients inside, what is unequivocally, the world's most advanced digital economy.

Through their lens, Adrian experiences the defining characteristics of success and is uniquely qualified to advise organizations on how to become high-performing organizations, even in this talent desert.
