S3-Ep28: Executive Perspective: Building Vibrancy, Increasing Engagement, Improving Performance

Guest: Richard Oliver

According to Gallup, 32% of employees are engaged in the US and 13% globally. This leads to a productivity crisis! Companies are exploring options for how to address this crisis. Thorlo's President, Richard Oliver, shares his experience addressing this issue in a 60 year old, US based, manufacturing organization. He says, there is a new possibility for how people are in relationship in organizations and families. The principles we discuss during the show are broadly applicable and focus on generative agreements that create much stronger outcomes in financial returns, organizational performance metrics and employee experience. Richard talks about how he leveraged his experience as a CPA with Deloitte to his existing practices at Thorlo with the collaboration and partnership with Jim Ritchie-Dunham at the Institute for Strategic Clarity. He gives specific concrete examples to help leaders understand how this approach is different and why it is impactful.
