In this episode, Heather speaks with Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40
about his leadership journey, a time when he was not the nest
leader he could be and what he did to come out of it, how he
transformed a company from good to great by focusing on people
first and maintaining a learning culture. Garry co-authored a book
with Ken Blanchard and moved his organization from $200 million in
revenues to $2.2 billion all with focusing on growing people and
helping them step into their best selves.
Key takeaways:

Be open and curious
Educate yourself to streamline the conversion to the leader with
heart
