About this listen

 Andrew opens Day 1 of the CEO Retreat, attended by CEOs from across the country, by going straight to the heart of QUALITY—and where it REALLY comes from: within the Leader! He connects discipline to a Culture of Meticulousness, then ties Customer Delight (5,553 interactions without a single complaint) to phenomenal economics. CEOs are urged to defeat corporateness without lowering Standards, but INCREASING their Standards. He also urges to build Self-Regulating Systems (training + compensation), and assess leaders for Intelligence, Communication Skills, Attitude, Energy/Drive, Decisiveness, Accountability, and Confidence. The throughline: SUCCESS UNITES PEOPLE; design for incentives and disincentives; and run an “integrated, coherent organization, based on “mutual reliance” with zero silos where compensation teaches, both in monetary as well as, more importantly, non-monetary levels.
