How IKEA’s diversity and climate action boosted business, with Jesper Brodin


Listen Later

After eight years at the helm of Ingka Group, the operating entity behind home-furnishing giant IKEA, CEO Jesper Brodin is stepping down. Brodin joins Rapid Response to explain why now was the right time to make the move, and shares how he’s steered IKEA through a whirlwind of changes, from rising tariffs to shifting public sentiments around DEI and ESG, as well as an evolving relationship between global business and governments. Brodin also reveals why sleep may be the most overlooked leadership tool, and the pros and cons of having a 200-year business plan.
