The People Revolution: Create Conditions for People to Thrive

The industrial revolution in the 1800s and the technical revolution in the 1990’s changed everything about the way we worked and how we ran our businesses. We are now on the front lines of a people revolution, and businesses who do not embrace that they are in the talent business are not going to survive.

Creating the conditions for people to thrive at your company will need to take at least 30% of our time, money, and energy. If you don’t start thinking like this, just like in other revolutions, those that did not adapt to the change were left struggling.

I am a CEO and founder too, and this practical and inspiring talk pulls from my 12-year journey building my company and the results are I have little turnover, a culture that is admired, is profitable and I work a normal 40-hour week. If I can do it, you can too!
