How do you create and maintain a culture to enable happy and high-performing teams?
Jane Slimming is Founder and CEO of Zeal. She’s been running the agency for 14 years.
In this episode, Jane shares how she:
- Defined their values on day #1 and consistently embeds these into everything they do
- Allows people to progress their careers based on their unique factors of success
- Is very transparent about business performance, no matter how badly they’re doing
- Gets people to disagree with her and then actively praises them when correct to do so
- Launched the Zeal Bucket List to push people out of their comfort (and make their personal dreams come true)
- Spearheaded Zeal to win the award for Best Agency Culture
Jane was a great podcast guest with a lot of ‘zeal’. Her quote about what’s worse than having a hole in the team is truly memorable!
