Your job as a leader is to create an environment where people feel safe enough to be able to share ideas, try things out and make mistakes. Over the long term, that’s how innovation will flourish. So how do you make it happen in your organization? How do you build an innovation culture?
These are questions we addressed with Garry Ridge on this webinar Show.
Garry is CEO of WD-40 Company and he knows how important it is to get culture right when trying to scale an organization. He strongly believes culture has been pivotal to the growth of the company.
Since he took over in 1997, the share price of his business has multiplied nine times. Not only that, the market cap has gone from $250 million to $2.9 billion. They now also operate in 176 countries and have a growing collection of new brands and products.
We’ll use the culture map to break down exactly how Garry drove cultural transformation at WD-40 Company. We’ll spend some time reflecting on how we can apply these principles ourselves. As usual, we’ll also have some fun exploring what’s hot or not in the worlds of leadership and innovation.
