In leadership, it's advantageous to have bigger ears than you do a mouth. 👂 Nestlé took that adage to heart by creating their Open Channel program in 2019. Since then, 6,000 employee ideas have been submitted from their team of 20,000. These big ideas sparked big revenue growth. 📈 Think $200M incrementally. 🤯 My takeaway: You've built a team of individuals you trust. Leverage that trust to empower employees to contribute in ways that go beyond their job descriptions. You never know where the next break out product could come from! #leadership #innovation #employeeempowerment

❓ What happens to companies when they forget their big idea?? 💡 Great piece by Dev Patnaik in Forbes on the recent Super Bowl nostalgia fest. While nostalgia can remind us why we love a brand, it can also signal declining relevance. 👀 More brands need to take an honest look at where the brand narrative and current cultural context align—or don't. 🔁 At 💡 ODA Branding, hitting repeat on this process is how we help our clients stay relevant. #brandstrategy #brandingmeansbusiness #branding #superbowlads #brand

Last week, it felt like everyone knew about the big changes at #KHC before I did. I was on PTO, what can I say! When we read articles about CEO transitions, they are often written for those that care about what this means for their investments. You want to be reassured about their business acumen, their strategic thinking and their results. You want proof of their ability to be successful and as long as they didn't do anything problematic, their track record as leaders of people is less critical if you don't work here (or intend to). But, if you are a person that works here or wants to, just seeing great results does not say anything about who these leaders were or how they led. After all, we want to work for companies with strong business performance, but we are most inspired when we work with leaders we respect as people. In a vast company like #kraftheinz, the sadness of Miguel's departure is not just because of his business results, his refocus on brands or even his strategic realignment of businesses around consumer needs. It is because he was trusted for his authenticity, genuine love of food and being an approachable, accessible leader to all. Carlos taking over is exciting not just because of what he accomplished with the US business, his futuristic and innovative mindset or even because he is driving a disruptive evolution of our capabilities to better align with the future. It is because he is trusted for being inclusive, empathetic and witty. ( #slayqueen is a story of legend) A strong leader achieves market share gains, revenue growth and helps maximize shareholder value. They have to. But an exceptional leader also drives culture. These leaders drove a culture that led to a rise in internal engagement, win KHC spots on most loved workplace surveys, and get deemed the most innovative companies of 2023. That was a seismic shift from the KHC of 4 years ago. To me, that is the real legacy of Miguel, and a glimpse of what is to come with Carlos. #hereatkraftheinz #pathtogreatness https://lnkd.in/gdAntUca
