Featured Speaker:
Rick Fitzgerald, Manager of Cultural Excellence, Pilot Flying J
Rick Fitzgerald is Manager of Cultural Excellence at Pilot Flying J, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, headquartered in Knoxville, TN. In partnership with the Disney Institute and an internal team of diverse leaders and “champions,” Rick is leading an unprecedented culture shift at Pilot to improve the employee experience, and ultimately, the customer experience. By working with “champions” throughout all areas of the company, Rick’s team has been able to uncover what employees really want and need from their employer, and begin to co-create an authentic culture at Pilot – not one dreamed up at an offsite by a handful of leaders and pushed on the organization. Rick will share how Pilot has IGNITED its culture and how you can leverage everyone – from cashiers to the CEO – to move the needle in your organization.
In this session you will:
- Learn how to ignite the culture in your organization.
- Discover how to work with "champions" to uncover what employees really want and need.
- Gain real-world lessons that you can apply to your own role.
