AuthenticityQuotes from this episode:
“Our people take comfort when leaders are trustworthy, clear communicators, and consistent.”
“We cannot afford to sit back and act like we’ve got it all figured out. We can recognize that nobody does but we learn as we go.”
“If we have the right data we can understand who we’re serving; what their needs are, their habits and practices, delight them with things they haven’t even thought to ask us.”
“When we come upon those insights, it sparks amazing creativity that opens hearts and minds and tells incredible brand stories that are relevant not to customers or consumers, but to humans.”
“Authenticity. I think we give the world the best of ourselves when we’re willing to be ourselves.”LinkedIn
