What does it take to achieve and sustain growth?

The podcast explores how companies can achieve sustained and profitable growth by developing specific mindsets. It identifies a gap between executives desiring growth and their actions to support it, highlighting that only a small fraction of companies achieve consistent growth. Execution is identified as a key challenge, with companies often lacking the rigorous systems for growth initiatives that they apply to cost-cutting. Customer centricity is also examined, noting that while companies collect customer feedback, they often fail to translate insights into action. The discussion emphasizes the importance of courageous leadership, talent development, and adapting to change, particularly by leveraging AI and other digital capabilities. Examples from Corning and Sephora illustrate how bold targets and technology integration can drive growth.
