Positive Leadership: Energising a Firm with Mission and Values

Kent Thiry became Chairman and CEO of DaVita® (then called Total Renal Care) in October 1999. Upon Thiry’s arrival, the company embarked on an ambitious restructuring plan to save it from the brink of bankruptcy. Ten years later, the company’s dedication to teammate (employee) engagement and empowerment has helped transform DaVita into a FORTUNE 500® company with approximately $6.1 billion in annual revenues, a stock price that has increased more than 2,600 percent since shortly after he joined, and an 11% reduction in teammate turnover.

Here he talks about energising a firm with mission & values. 

A very interesting approach, albeit one which might be difficult to implement in some cultures!
