Leading With Purpose

In his book 'Running with Purpose: How Brooks Outpaced Goliath
Competitors to Lead the Pack', Brooks Running Company CEO Jim
Weber shared how he led a passionate, committed team to transform
a failing business into a billion-dollar brand in the
ultra-competitive global running market. Brooks' success caught
the attention of Warren Buffett, who declared it a standalone
subsidiary company of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in 2012. Listen to
this live recording of Weber's panel discussion where he talked
about a range of topics, from promoting diversity in the
workplace to what he would tell his 20-year-old self, in this
episode of The Leadership Playbook.


Hosted by Joseph M. Phillips, dean of Seattle University’s Albers
School of Business and Economics, The Leadership Playbook asks
top executives from the business world's most recognizable brands
and companies about the stories behind their success, their
leadership secrets, and the biggest obstacles they've faced and
overcome.
