Leaders must know the WHY behind the businesses that they run. In this episode, Mark speaks with Ron Worman, Founder of The Sage Group and Managing Director of The Great Conversation. He shares how he started The Great Conversation meeting with servant leaders and his mission to help others figure out their why.

Mark and Ron discuss the current work environment, from the worrisome inflation we are experiencing to the apparent refusal of younger generations to work. In his quest to understand the reasons for this, Ron boils it back down to knowing your priorities to define your worldview.  

Tune in as Ron talks about finding one’s core values and how ideas matter here on The Fearless Mindset Podcast.

GOLDEN NUGGETS

Bringing people together for The Great Conversation - Ron: "The great conversation became, how can I bring the whole industry together? Whether you are a consultant, an integrator, a manufacturer, CSO, and their team, how can I bring the whole industry together to really say, how do we raise our game so that this industry becomes incredibly valuable to its customers, which is the CEO and their team to its customers, no matter who you were in that industry."

A seat at the table is an opportunity to share ideas that matter - Ron: "It's nice to get a title. It's nice to get a seat at the table, but it still doesn't mean your ideas matter unless you choose to integrate them into the others around you who are trying to sort through the same dilemma as you, and that is how to build a powerful company, a valuable company. And so, stop trying to get a seat at the table and try to get your ideas accepted before, and then it's a fait accompli because if your ideas are accepted, sooner or later you'll be more recognized."
