Show Notes

On the Leading from Purpose Podcast this week, Nick Craig is joined by former CEO of Ben & Jerry's, Jostein Solheim, who is now at the heart of the COVID-19 crisis. How does he run Unilever’s $4 billion U.S. food business to keep up with demand from U.S. grocery stores while also keeping his 8,000 employees safe?

Jostein Solheim finds himself leaning on his Purpose to make the shift
from “doing” to “being” to get his team through. Jostein, the eternal optimist, reminds us that “we’ll come out of this stronger and better as a humanity, as business leaders, and as a business."
