‘Through our journey, we have been able to expand our capacity to innovate and adapt, to lead and inspire our teams, and to focus on delivering superior results faster through a more vertical mindset.
The previous months have shown some successes never reached before, while significantly improving our business and financial results. This leadership journey has also been an emotional journey for the participants, identified as necessary steps for building a mindset for excellence.
This stage has definitively provided us with greater clarity at understanding organizational culture and a practical and measurable action plan on how to shift our team culture toward the Ideal Culture in our store.
Through a clear vision and a better clarity on each role, we must be able to deliver our action plan and goals through focus and excellence. Team cohesion and individual commitment are contributing to reach our ambition to be recognized as great place to work, being performant and appreciated by the rest of the organization’.
