Takeaways:
- C-suite professionals need to pay attention to their branding. Your brand, good or bad, influences your culture and by extension your team.
- Branding comes from all aspects of your company, but it needs to start with your team.
- Developing a strong brand takes time and effort, but the end result is an authentic, strong, brand and culture.
- A good leader looks out for their team and takes action to show that they are willing to support the team.
- A brand is more than just the outward appearance of the company, it also includes the internal interactions between your team members.
- Creating growth and a thriving organization doesn’t come from the leader, but the value of having everyone together. Unify the team, align the goals and trajectory, and support everyone.
- Successful leadership should result in a feeling of pride and accomplishment at the growth and advancement of your employees.
Quote of the Show:
- “For me, brand, it’s not just the marketing or the outward perception, but it’s also all those internal communications with your team.” – Charles Internicola
