Do CEOs Need Term Limits?
What does it take to be a great CEO in 2022? Leading with a True North, and breaking down some of the crusty hierarchical structures. Some leaders get it, and some really don’t. During Bill George’s tenure at Medtronic, the company’s market cap rose from $1 billion to $60 billion. He believes that leading with authenticity is one of the reasons he was able to help do that. Ricky Mulvey caught up with George to discuss his forthcoming book, “True North: Leading Authentically in Today's Workplace” as well as: - How Best Buy CEO Corie Barry pivoted during the pandemic - Mark Zuckerberg vs Satya Nadella - Why more companies may benefit from giving CEOs a term limit - Mary Barra’s big goals at General Motors - How to find your own True North Stocks mentioned: MDT, MSFT, META, BBY, VMEO, GM Host: Ricky Mulvey Guest: Bill George Engineer: Dan Boyd Learn more about your ad choices.
