Joe Hinrichs, CEO CSX: A Profile in Purpose Leadership

Is there a new paradigm for 21st century leadership—enhancing returns for investors only by creating value for customers, people, supply chain and distribution partners, communities and the environment. Based on this Enterprise Engagement Alliance YouTube show, the answer is yes: the challenge is that many purpose leaders are too busy running their businesses and putting the spotlight on their stakeholders to proselytize a new leadership model.

 

In this 30-minute Enterprise Engagement Alliance YouTube show, CSX CEO Joe Hinrichs outlines the roadmap for stakeholder management implementation by sharing the lessons of his impressive rise up the corporate ladder at Ford to become president of the automotive division. He left 18 months ago to take the helm at CSX. Despite economic headwinds that have affected the company’s revenues, the company’s stock is up about one-third since Hinrichs took the helm in September 2022.
