Episode 10
For this week’s bonus episode, we are joined by Becks Beere - the founder and CEO of Avec UK, a market-leading strategic brand and product partner for global retailers.
Becks recommended 'Principles' by Ray Dalio and shares the many ways the book has influenced her life and how the insights influenced the considerable success of her business.
Basing our discussion on insights garnered from the book, Becks speaks about how failures on her leadership journey have fuelled the desire to create a strong foundation for a lively workplace and inclusive culture. We also discuss the benefits and challenges of radical transparency, and what that means in practice if we are to encourage open conversations among employees and meaningful feedback loops.
