We had a truly international cohort on this call, as each member of Dave’s family were born in a different country, as were the members of Jussi's family!One of the stand-out things from this episode was that both Dave and Jussi agreed for a business to be 6 stars they need to be led by purpose. If they weren't driven by purpose then they would be 5 stars 'at best', and in Jussi's words they would make some profits but die off and not last.This is another episode that could have kept going!Here are some highlights:10:10 - the blue ocean strategy was a great start12:55 - The erosion of institutions21:10 - How Covid has shifted internal needs inside organisations to develop24:00 - How you can survive the tsunami that’s coming26:19 - Where leaders need to start with their transformation30:58 - How people can feel more fulfilled36:41 - What engagement in action looks like39:08 - A company that’s 1300 years old41:17 - The link between business and naturePlusJussi throws down a challenge right at the end that Aveline agrees to!Sit back and enjoy!Books Mentioned in this episode:The Wise CompanyPrinciples, Ray DalioMore To The GameThe Buddha and The Badass, Vishen Lakyani Here is some information on both guests and where you can find them:Jussi LuukkonenJussi has been coaching people for decades.
