Let’s try to do it in 100 words.
In 2017 at Triumph Motorcycles I worked with a brand that exceeds customer expectations with products designed, built and sold by passionate people with a story to tell.
The same level of engagement exists in Ennis & Co, the executive search business founded on values that stand the test of time beyond the interview.
And Meridian the new, collaboration-based start-up in driverless vehicle technology.
The common link? Make a clear promise, stick to it and tell your story effectively.
I think the secret is people. Spend 2018 with people who place integrity above short term gain.
