S17E1: Who Is Spiros Assimacopoulos?
Q: If you could summarize like the top one, two, maybe three biggest lessons that you learned in the craft of baking, what would those be?
The most important lesson is to ask for help and surround yourself with talented people, because there are always gaps in knowledge and evolving challenges, even after many years; building a team and seeking expert guidance is essential to progress.
S16E2: Leadership and Professional Development
Q: How do you identify and develop future leaders internally rather than recruiting?
We use formal programs with Xavier University, internal Six Sigma training, and executive coaching, plus a culture that rewards learning, reading, and mentoring, with a structured fast-track for high-potential employees.
S16E2: Leadership and Professional Development
Q: And what would you say sets your leadership apart and makes it so attractive?
A blend of humble, family-centered values, global experience, and a bias for empowering teams through clear swim lanes, quick decision-making, and mentorship from within and outside the organization.
S19E2: Culture as a Business Practice
Q: What is the business case for giving back and investing in team development?
Development and community involvement build trust, retention, and a sense of purpose among team members, which translates into better performance and longevity for the organization.
S19E2: Culture as a Business Practice
Q: Does culture drive the objective-setting process with consultants, or do the objectives shape culture?
Culture provides the foundation, and outside consultants help formalize it by establishing a structured goal framework like the rule of threes to guide growth.
