We spoke to Jan Griffiths, President and Founder of Gravitas Detroit and a compassionate leader with more than 30 years of experience. Jan is on a mission to change the old model of leadership and show people what it takes to lead successful teams. Her journey from a little girl who grew up on a farm in Wales to a position of Chief Procurement Officer for a $3B global automotive parts supplier. Her success earned a place in Automotive News’ list of the 100 Leading Women in the North America Auto Industry and we talk about why Jan decided to start her own company and support global leadership change.
This is a true story of rebellion, succeeding against the odds and holding onto real human values like connection and compassion and your vision, no matter how impossible or hard it sometimes is. We also spoke about the importance to challenge the old model and culture of leadership to change it to a more sustainable and compassionate model in order to make a bigger impact and lead through the changes technology is bringing upon us.
