Grow: How Ideals Power Growth and Profit at the World’s Greatest Companies
The recession and the tumult we have all faced in its aftermath has solidified some companies as market leaders while others have been forced to shutter their doors forever. What did Chipotle, Apple and Red Bull do right that Circuit City, Linens ’n Things and Borders did wrong, ultimately leading to their failure? Jim Stengel argues the companies that have and will continue to grow sustainably are the ideals-driven brands that inspire their customers, inspire their employees, and in the end, outperform their competitors. In a presentation based on his book Grow: How Ideals Power Growth and Profit at the World’s Greatest Companies, Stengel uses the ten years of empirical research involving 50,000 companies to show how the world’s 50 best businesses—as diverse as Method, Discovery Communications, Pampers and Petrobras—have a cause-and-effect relationship between financial performance and their ability to connect with fundamental human emotions, hopes, values and greater purposes. In this informative presentation, Stengel shows:
- How to infuse an organization with the passion needed to win in any market condition
- What skills leaders needs to attract buyers, retain employees and capture market share
- How to effectively leverage technology to build an organization culture

Lessons in Leadership – Leading with Principles and Values
Famous for its “leadership factory,” Procter & Gamble has generated more than its share of leaders and prestigious alumni including A.G. Lafley, John Pepper, Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, Scott Cook of Intuit, Meg Whitman of eBay and Jeff Immelt of GE.

Jim has integrated the lessons of these great thinkers and practitioners into a “Lessons in Leadership” framework that has evolved over the course of his career. Audiences will take away the following:
- Lessons in leadership, drawing on his experiences and wisdom gained from P&G leaders and business legends
- Insights from successes and, importantly, failures
- How ideals, principles and values can be applied by any leader, using real-world stories and examples to make the lessons memorable and drive home key points, including “Designing Your Organization for What You Need to Win” and “Living Your Desired Legacy”
