At The Garage Group, we’re on a mission to unlock courage in leaders required to keep their brand portfolios relevant and growing in the face of uncertainty.
We created the Courageous Minds Only Community to give corporate leaders courage, inspiration, and ideas for building the future in an uncertain world.
Jason Hauer, Co-founder and Head of Growth at The Garage Group, and Founder of the Courageous Minds Only Community recently led an inspiring conversation in Chicago at 1871 with top leaders to dig into their lessons learned on operating with courage in the face of uncertainty:
This conversation was so packed with inspiration and insights we couldn't fit it all on one page...
We're digging into On the Horizon Trends From Top Leaders with this recap and you can follow along at the bottom for additional courage, inspiration, and ideas.
Recap 5 of 5: On the Horizon Trends From Top Leaders
Quick note from Jason:
Of all the great leaders I’ve been around, curiosity for what's next and the ability to execute in those new spaces with conviction is something I've consistently observed.
Our panelists paint an amazing picture of what's required as we move forward...
From staying close to consumers and our team members...
To understanding how strategic focus areas of the past like health and wellness are evolving...
To operating with strategy agility...
At a pace that matches the needs of the market...
All while making sure our teams are getting stronger and not burning out...
Michelle with a call to action to engage consumers all the time...
MSJ on sustaining the pace of innovation without driving burnout...
Dondeena on consumers redefining happy, healthy, and well...
MSJ on shifting from autopilot to innovating with agility in real time...
Commitment to action:
With the Courageous Minds Only Community...
It’s not enough to just show up and watch...
Our encouragement is to internalize what you watched (+ rewatch a couple of times and include your team)...
And, truly commit to taking at least one insight or perspective that impacts you and putting it into action...
Make yourself, your team, and your company better...
If you’re committed to that, you’ll take action!
When is the last time you've been face-to-face (in person or virtually) with your consumers?
If recently, have you driven that empathy and context into your strategy? If not, how can you build that into your upcoming schedule?
Which on the on-the-horizon trend(s) will affect your brands? Have you been able to proactively adjust your strategy/ brands/ pipelines based on those trends? If not, what's something you can start to do heading into Q4 that could change the trajectory of your company?
