Vic Clesceri is a uniquely well-rounded business leader, and we talk about helping people and companies to grow, by aligning corporate strategy and workforce strategy, by synthesizing both while translating confusing terminology into simple concepts people can rally around.
3:15 - “Strategy is a set of choices about winning.” - quoting A.G. Laffley, former CEO of Procter & Gamble
5:03 - “Do we need to upskill…reskill… or hire for skill?”
5:15 - quoting a 2020 McKinsey study “87% of (executives) state they’re going to have skill gap deficiencies…about a third of them have identified this talent risk… as a top three priority…but less than half of them actually have a clear sense of vision how they’re going to close that gap.”
10:18 - “Know who your audience is, and what type of language is going to resonate with those stakeholders.”
12:31 - “Those are the five steps, and when you simplify it in that type of language, everybody gets it.” - 13:30 - “Boiling it down to the essential: Who are we? Where do we want to win? How do we want to win? Current state? Future state?”
20:13 - “Leadership is all about turning a vision into reality and producing results. But it is only through people.”
22:00 - “It’s this accomplice saboteur that works with the judge to create paralysis in us… the saboteurs are playing on all of our fears…and then on the sage side, there’s really five superpowers of the sage.” - 24:23 - “It’s a mental fitness model.”
24:25 - “You use the word superpowers… it has come up in several podcast episodes… I really love the idea of each of us becoming very intentional about what are my superpowers?” - 26:10 - “I found by asking, what is my superpower? For me, it’s the combination of being prepared and staying curious. For you, it’s something else.”
28:15 - “I know people that have superpowers… I can bring those Sherpas in with me. And then we can represent a team that’s going to use superpowers like The Avengers… the goal is to find the right Avengers and accomplices to join you.”
29:05 - “You nailed it man, we are The Avengers… of corporate growth.”
Always growing.
