You Can't Run A Values-Led Business, Remotely
Episode Overview
In a not too distant future world where remote and hybrid working remains commonplace, Andy speaks to Mark Saxby, about Mark's belief that you can't run a truly values-led business, remotely.
Mark was a BBC journalist for 20 years and is now the proud co-director of Status Social, a social media agency that really does live and breathe its core values. They even bring in outside businesses to talk to them and show them how that works in real-life. This is why Andy was so shocked during in a recent conversation, when Mark said, "You can't run a values-led business, remotely."
In this episode the pair discuss and exchange views on what is really meant by being a "values-led business", what the benefits of that are for an organisation, the impact the global pandemic has had on maintaining cultural integrity and employee engagement within businesses. Mark openly talks about what commitment to living by your values really takes, including sacking clients who don't match up, and the positive benefits employees feel and respond to. The pair also get into why Mark believes doing all this remotely just isn't possible and what could be done to improve the situation. Whilst the two don't always agree on everything, they do agree that if you're going to have company values, they need to be alive and kicking.
