04:21 - The first imperative for putting people first is to inspire through purpose. In order to motivate more people into your initiative, the transformation needs to connect with a deeper sense of purpose.
05:54 - The second imperative for putting people first is to go all in. Think about initiatives that will enable you to win in the medium term, initiatives to drive growth, actions that will fundamentally change the way the company operates, and very importantly, investments to develop the leadership and the talent.
06:58 - The third imperative for putting people first is to enable people with the capabilities that they need to succeed during the transformation and beyond.
08:56 - In the era of "always-on" transformation, change is a constant. The fourth imperative is to instill a culture of continuous learning.
10:58 - The fifth and final imperative is specifically for leaders. In a transformation, a leader needs to have a vision, a clear road map with milestones, and then you need to hold people accountable for results. In other words, you need to be directive. But in order to capture the hearts and minds of people, you also need to be inclusive. Inclusive leadership is critical to putting people first.
