Overseas Visit
We had hectic week with our President and CEO, Jim Ritchie in town. As well as the normal type of agenda with review and strategy meetings, we had a late night at the IFW awards where we were finalists in People Development and Business Improvement categories.
Jim always takes time to speak too as many staff as he can and uses group meetings to share general information about the company plus encourages open questions. I am sure some companies may be reluctant to do this, but I have seen these meetings many times opening important areas of debate. As leaders this may sometimes be uncomfortable but listening to our staff is always very beneficial and it personally gives me a boost of energy.
