Unwritten Culture: Why Grit Matters With Karen Norheim, CEO Of American Crane And Equipment Corporation
Manage episode 358078939 series 3404111
All companies have a culture, but many remain to be unwritten. That is often the case when you have an exceptionally charismatic and effective leader who, in many ways, is the culture. But what happens when that leader is ready to pass on the torch to their predecessor? That unwritten culture will have to be codified, and that’s a challenge on its own. When Karen Norheim replaced her father as CEO of American Crane and Equipment Corporation, she was in the best position to finally put that unwritten culture into words. She had grown up surrounded by the family business, and she had the immense fortune of being mentored by her father. In this episode, Karen tells us why “grit” was the word that resonated the most with her and her team and why it aptly encapsulates what their culture was under her father’s leadership and what it continues to be under hers.
