All Business With Jeffrey Hayzlett

This week we revisit our conversation with Garry Ridge Chairman/CEO of WD-40. There are no such things as mistakes, according to today’s guest on “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett,” there are learning moments with Garry Ridge, the long-time CEO and Chairman of the WD-40 Company. While many of us have one of the signature blue and yellow cans somewhere in our home, we likely don’t know much about the company keeping things moving all these years. Here’s a hint: it’s all about company culture. Garry explains why he doesn’t have a team, he leads a tribe, and his tribe is loyal. He also introduces us all to Al, the soul-sucking CEO. Garry has a lot to say about work, culture, and getting the most out of his employees.

This Friday we're replaying a discussion we had with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky back in October 2020 that's just as relevant today. Leaders are often people who everyone else looks up to when it’s time to make decisions. However, being a leader doesn’t guarantee that we always have the right answers – or even answer. My guest today is on a mission to help leaders avoid the traps of costly judgment errors, or cognitive biases, in order to be a more strategic decision-maker.    Dr. Gleb Tsipursky is a behavioral economist, cognitive neuroscientist, and author of “Never Go with Your Gut: How Pioneering Leaders Make the Best Decisions and Avoid Business Disasters.”  This discussion was recorded during a C-Suite Network Digital Discussion.
