During Wilson
Jones’s tenure as CEO of Oshkosh
Corporation, he led the charge to adopt a people-first
culture.
“Performing cultures are good but performing
around healthy cultures are even better.”
This episode is presented by Performa (now EUA), a purpose-driven
architecture and engineering firm. As you listen, you’ll quickly
understand why, even though he’s retired, CEOs keep calling Wilson
for advice on how to shift their cultures. First and foremost,
Wilson says if the desire for change isn’t genuine, if leadership
doesn’t model the behavior, and if the suggestions don’t come from
the bottom up, it won’t happen. As the conversation unfolds, you’ll
learn how this culture shift began with listening to front-line
employees and acting on their desire to be engaged, developed and
connected. You’ll also learn how lasting culture change happens
through building relationships so your team feels like they’re
doing meaningful work with people who care. You’ll also hear their
journey of creating a new global headquarters that supported this
culture shift.
