Alexandre Ricard’s Post

#Mondaymotivation and #inspiration from Sir Ivan and Josh #leadership #leadershipmatters #goodleadershipmatters This Is True Leadership, We Need More of It “Ivan wasn’t a distant idea. He was a real person. He was interested in what you thought, and humble enough to know that he might learn from it. And when he spoke, you listened, and not only because his lilting voice was so very easy to listen to. As his record at Diageo showed, there was a steeliness and a considerable intellect to him too. For ten years, it served Diageo and its shareholders well.” The findings are clear; 1️⃣ Humble leaders, like Ivan, outperform their browbeating peers. 2️⃣ Humble leaders inspire better performance from their teams. 3️⃣ Humble leaders make their employees not only more effective, but also happier at work. Success Is No Accident #thinksmart #worksmart #behumble If you want to make your business better for yourself, your team and your customers, and run rings around your competitors too, be humble. Here’s to more humble leaders. I hope you find yourself working for one this week. #everyonebenefits Labour Together City AM Diageo #motivationalmonday #motivation #inspirational #inspirationalleader #inspireothers #inspiregreatness #mindsetmonday #mindsetforsuccess #mindsetmatters #mindset #leader #leaders #team #teamwork #business #success #competitiveadvantage #competitiveedge #workplaceculture #culturematters #teamappreciation #employeeengagement #seepeople #peoplemakethedifference #peoplemakeplaces #entrepreneurialmindset #entrpreneurship #entrepreneurs #businessowners #strategysuccess

Beam Suntory has just made a major rebrand, and it's not just about a new name. Suntory Global Spirits is signaling a commitment to global leadership AND staying true to their roots. That's hard to pull off, but it taps into something consumers (and employees!) crave. Here's where we can learn from Suntory's smart move: 1.) Embrace your roots and evolve. Don't abandon your core identity, but don't be afraid to adapt and embrace the future. 2.) Consumers are getting savvier and will pay more for excellence they trust. Deliver superior products with a focus on ethical sourcing. 3.) Develop a crystal clear vision for the future. Global markets are dynamic. Know where you're headed and communicate it clearly. The future belongs to those who adapt without losing themselves! Need help staying 'authentic' and ahead of the curve? Let's chat!

What does Iced Tea have in common with Australian Football? More than I first imagined, as I found out during my recent trip to Australia. They both have a unique offer born out of local flavours and traditions, and at the heart of it, they both have an extremely loyal fanbase.  Wherever I travel, I like to take time to learn about the local customs and consumers by immersing myself in the local culture. I’ve always found that embracing experiences helps to enhance my understanding of a holistic market context. So last week, I went along to an Australian Football League (or “Aussie Rules”) game to find out more about what makes people here tick. A combination of soccer, rugby and basketball played on an oval pitch, it’s like – and also unlike – many similar games. But it only exists in Australia where it’s the most highly attended spectator sport in the country. So, I found there are quite a few things that are common between AFL and our Ice Tea business. Purpose. It’s important to have a clear goal and a game plan for delivery. Whether that’s a trophy or a bestselling product, focus is key. Flexibility. While a plan is a helpful guide, the behaviour of other teams and the evolving operating environment and changing needs of consumers must be taken into account. Resilience and adaptability are critical – ideally backed by performance data and learnings. Teamwork. The players on the pitch, the support on the sidelines, the fans in the seats – all play a powerful role in making the game a success. The same is true for Pepsi Lipton: our people, partners, consumers and customers all contribute to making our products a #WinningBlend. I have a lot of respect and admiration for these teams, clearly giving it their all. It’s hard not to be swept away by such passion and dedication. Thank you Nigel Parsons and the total Asahi Lifestyle Beverages team for a productive joint business planning session, and for hosting us for a unique Aussie experience. We look forward to taking this strong partnership to new heights.

By being part of this industry now for almost a decade (!), I've experienced first-hand its magic, versatility and the opportunities it provides. That's not necessarily seen by everyone. We’ve announced our third installment of the Behind the Label report, “Redefining What it Means to Work in the Alcoholic Beverage Industry.” This year's report highlights the fact that many people see the alcoholic beverage industry as a great place to work, but in order to attract the best and most diverse talent, it's important that we prioritize fostering a sense of belonging. Through our research, the report found three categories of misperception in the industry which include - who works in the industry, the types of jobs available, and the opportunities to advance and grow. The good news is, as an industry that is built around social occasions, we have what it takes to tackle these misperceptions. It's important that we continue to foster environments that are inclusive, while communicating and educating about the impressive career paths possible within the industry.
