Summary

In this episode, Angela Ahrendts and I discuss why human energy singlehandedly has the power to unite and transform companies and communities. The process of harnessing this power begins with building trust, which then unlocks intuition, and ultimately establishes belief in the mission and products of the organization. These steps can help create an organization built to last, where people can thrive and achieve their full potential.
