EP127: How You Get Reslts Matters as Much as the Results

John Beering, CEO of RedDOT Corporation, believes culture is a force multiplier. In the two and a half years since he joined, he has seen it show up in employee engagement and in results.

RedDOT started 60 years ago as a West Seattle radiator shop and has been 100% employee-owned for more than 25 years. Deborah Fell talks with John about leading a company where every employee is an owner, why he led the work on RedDOT's cultural norms himself, and why he holds that how you get results matters as much as the results. He also talks about the father who shaped his commitment to service and integrity, the email habits that protect his time, and how he still makes room for golf with his wife and visits with his kids.
