Donna Peters interviews President and Chief Operating Officer, Tom Schwenger, Veeva Systems on the power of putting People first: this includes our families, our colleagues, our customers, the People in our lives.  Tom shares nuggets throughout including:

Leadership Advice Tom Learned @ Work and @ Home:
1) Put people first, and everything else falls into place (for ex, Tom has People as the first agenda topic.  We all know People is usually the last agenda topic, and the meeting runs out of time)
2) Appreciate the uniqueness each individual brings to the group
3) Respect and admire your customers

Career Advice:
1) Don't over-steer your career path
2) Don't let others define your career

Tom's Core Values: Curiosity, Adaptability/Flexibility, Integrity/Selflessness
