An inspiring, practical book by Gui Loureiro,ย Regional CEO overseeing Walmex, Walmart Canada, and Walmart Chile, and his executive leadership coach Carlos Marin that shows how even the most successful leaders must be open to personal change in order to transform their company.
In the midst of a successful year, visionary CEO Gui Loureiro decided that WalmexโWalmartโs biggest division outside of the United Statesโneeded to make massive changes to make the iconic company a more data-driven, customer-centric business that would be competitive in our digital economy. The stakes were high: no company the size of Walmex had ever attempted a transformation at such a magnitude of scale.
Reinventing the Leaderย is the turbulent story of how it happened thatโs especially relevant in this age of globalization. Gui learns from Carlos that to change the company he must first transform his own leadership style. Written from the dual perspectives of a CEO and his leadership coach, this candid book provides an insightful blueprint for any organizationโs success. Readers will learn:
- The importance of connecting a transformation to a meaningful purpose
- How any change brings risk but the biggest risk is not to change
- The three crucial questions to ask team members to discern if theyโre ready to contribute to a transformation
- The need to tell theย storyย of how the business impacts customers and customers impact the business
- Why itโs necessary to listen attentively and embrace change independently of how successful you are.
Todayโs leaders are expected to inspire by sharing a vision based on purpose, not just profits. Loureiro and Marinโs enlightening account of self-discovery and business reinvention defines a fresh new approach to leadership for the future.
