Lucinda is in conversation with Lyn Rees of Yourgene Health, to discuss HR from a CEO's perspective - what it is they're looking for in particular, the importance of culture at the heart of any business, and why people must come first.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Business plans and products are essential, but equally so are the right people and the right culture in an organisation.
We must seek to create a culture that allows people to thrive, that encourages honesty, which embeds creativity, and allows for a free flow of feedback.
Building a team is about sharing success and establishing trust. It is the instilling of the belief that no one person is more important than another.
We can better serve out organisation, our beliefs, values and culture, as well as the people who bring them to life, but establishing an information heartbeat or drumbeat throughout the company, instead of short sharp meetings or the more hackneyed methods of addressing minds.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you don't have the right culture, then your plans don't always get executed'

'I like the words "culture" and "performance", because for me, that's what it's all about'

'As a CEO, you have a role in your organisation, but I'm not more important than the other guys'

'I'd rather have a team who were prepared to run through brick walls for me than have a team who were capable but who did it on their own time'
