  • 218: The Dean of Dumbassery - Garry Ridge
    2025/04/06
    The Dean of Dumbassery Returns to The Leadership Enigma In this energising episode, Garry Ridge, former Chairman & CEO of WD-40 (yep, that iconic blue and yellow can with a red top), returns to the Leadership Enigma – flying in from the West Coast to London just for this chat! 🔥 Garry shares powerful lessons from his new book “Any Dumb Ass Can Do It”, drawn from 25 years of scar tissue, leadership insights, and culture-first wisdom. As he says, “We sell memories, not just oil in a can.” 🧠 Key Takeaways: 💥 "Your product is not your purpose.” Garry unpacks how purpose, people and culture drive long-term success. 📈 “Will of the people x strategy = output.” It’s not just about what you do, but who’s behind it that matters most. 🎓 From VIP to PIP (previously important person): Garry’s new mission is to pay it forward as the self-proclaimed Dean of Dumbassery – teaching, sharing, and helping leaders step up. ❤️ “Happy people make happy families, happy communities, and a happy world.” Garry reminds us that leadership is personal. It’s about creating meaningful impact. 🧠 “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” At WD-40, leaders became coaches, not managers – and everyone was trusted to grow. 🪶 “Life is a gift, don’t send it back unwrapped.” A rallying cry for leaders to embrace learning, take risks, and disrupt themselves. 🛠 Culture = (Values + Behaviour) x Consistency WD-40’s secret? A strong values hierarchy – guiding decision-making, reducing churn, and building trust. 🚫 Bye-bye finger-pointing: Enter the Maniac Pledge – an accountability manifesto that fuels empowerment across teams. 🤖 Beware of “Alec – the Soul Sucking CEO” Garry’s pocket puppet helps expose the fear-based leadership we all need to leave behind. 📊 70% of employees feel disengaged. Garry says it’s time to flip the script – because leaders are responsible for creating cultures where people belong, matter, and have autonomy. 🧠 Learning moments are the game changers. Remember, WD-40 got its name after failing 39 times. 🌀 “Don’t make finite decisions in uncertain times – fly loose.” Post-pandemic leadership needs agility, empathy, and clarity of purpose. 💬 Garry’s challenge to all leaders: “My people are so excited to go to ______ today because we are going to ______ today.” Fill in the blanks. What kind of workplace are you creating? 📚 Any Dumb Ass Can Do It is more than a title – it’s a call for humility, courage, and curiosity in leadership. Garry’s wisdom hits deep, and this episode is packed with practical, heartfelt, and hilarious truths for any leader looking to level up. 👉 Hit play. Get inspired. And remember: Profit is simply the applause for delighting your customers. Get the book from Amazon www.thelearningmoment.net/ The Dumb Ass Quiz: www.thelearningmoment.net/quiz/

  • 217: Reflections of a CEO: Tiger Tyagarajan
    2025/03/24
    In this captivating episode, we dive deep into the remarkable leadership journey of Tiger Tyagarajan, former CEO of Genpact, who led the company from a humble team of 20 to a global powerhouse of 130,000 employees with over $5 billion in revenue. Tiger's story is one of curiosity, humility, adaptability, and relentless growth. 🚀 Key Leadership Insights: 1. Curiosity as a Superpower:Tiger emphasizes the importance of maintaining a child-like curiosity, even as a leader. For him, "Exhibiting ignorance is at the heart of a leader's curiosity." Leaders should not shy away from admitting what they don’t know but instead use it as fuel to learn and grow. 2. Learning from the Young and the Wise:Early in his career, Tiger learned the power of listening and learning from those with more experience. Yet, as CEO, he also valued the perspectives of younger generations, believing their fresh views are crucial for staying relevant and innovative. 3. Creating a Learning Culture:To attract and retain top talent, Tiger built a culture where continuous learning and growth were embedded into the business model. Creating environments where people feel psychologically safe to share ideas and make mistakes is key to long-term success. 4. Adaptation Through Ecosystem Thinking:Having been part of GE, Tiger understood that learning from diverse ecosystems was essential. As CEO, he spent 50% of his time looking outward, translating noise into actionable insights, and embracing feedback from all sources. 5. Admitting Mistakes and Course-Correcting:Tiger’s humility allowed him to acknowledge when he was wrong and quickly pivot. Leaders must accept the need to course-correct in a constantly evolving environment. 6. Psychological Safety and Commitment:Encouraging dissenting voices is crucial, but once a decision is made, unity and support are expected from everyone. Leaders must walk the talk and demonstrate the behaviors they want to see. 7. Customer-Centric Digital Transformation:Before jumping into digital transformation, Tiger asks, “What does this mean to the customer?” Efficient listening systems are essential to evolve and adapt effectively. 8. The Role of AI and Technology:Tiger remains optimistic about AI’s potential for good, especially in health and education. Leaders must stay curious, experiment, and understand how technology can enhance the customer experience. 9. The CEO as a Conscience Keeper:A CEO’s true role is to be the conscience keeper of the organization’s culture—always asking, “Why?” to ensure alignment with the company’s purpose and values. 📣 Final Thoughts:Tiger Tyagarajan’s journey highlights the transformative power of curiosity, humility, and adaptability. His approach to leadership reminds us all to be learners first, to value dissenting voices, and to always be ready to pivot when necessary. #LeadershipEnigma #TigerTyagarajan #Genpact #LeadershipLessons #DigitalTransformation #CuriosityDrivenLeadership
