Charlie Dawson on purpose and customer-led success

Published on: 21st May, 2021

If you give customers freedom, do you lose money?

What about those companies that make money but let customers down? That are miserable to work for. Make a mess of the environment. Exploit workers in distant places.....

How and why does that happen?

And more importantly, how can a company avoid that happening in the future?

As Charlie Dawson, Founder and Partner of The Foundation says during this chat, purpose plays a big part in all of this.

But what is purpose? What does it really mean? Why is it important? And does it ‘pay’?

We’ll also talk about the importance of perceiving the world differently, and looking at the world from the outside in. And why this is also so important.

If you work for a company. Or own a company. I highly recommend you listen to this episode.

Charlie has been doing this since 1999.

He gives us some fantastic examples of who is doing all of this well. And who isn’t.

Who did it well. And then stopped.

And how to avoid all of these challenges.

So throw on those running shoes or grab your favourite drink, and get stuck in. This is a great chat that will certainly get you thinking!
