People, Purpose & Values: A Conversation with WD-40 CEO Garry Ridge

The Growth Collective

A recent study from IBM shows that 27 of Americans expect to change jobs in 2021. Many organizations are struggling to find talent and the ongoing-pandemic job market is going to compound these challenges.

What if there was a way to draw people to your company? What if it was possible to attract many times more applicants than openings WITHOUT a recruiter? My guest for this episode proves it is possible to do attract and retain talent by way of creating a culture that supports team members growth, wellbeing and flourishing.

Garry Ridge is chairman and chief executive officer of WD-40 Company. He is passionate about the learning and empowering organizational culture he has helped establish at the WD-40 Company, and his vision and leadership have positively impacted the WD-40 Company in both measurable and immeasurable ways.

Listen in as Garry walks through his experience evolving the culture over the past 20+ years. We touch upon the idea that profit is the “applause of people doing great work”; the benefits of building a “fortress of health”; and, the power of learning moments.
