Our Take on Leadership:
Growth Mindset:
This is competitive leadership. Taking the lead in the marketplace versus following. It's a positive attitude about the company's future - glass half-full -but it's realistic. It's passion for winning. Winning defined as gaining market share. It's placing a fresh emphasis on innovation - challenging the status quo.
Consumer and Customer Focus:
This is purpose-driven leadership. It's externally focused - on consumers, on customers. First take care of consumers and customers; financial performance will follow. It's a heightened passion for the consumer: "I firmly believe in improving the lives of consumers." It's bringing the voice of the consumer and the customer into everything we do. It's seeing our brands through their eyes.
Bias for action:
This is action-driven leadership: "This is what I will do." It's speed and sense of urgency in making decisions. But it needs to be thoughtful action, intelligent risk-taking. Also, it's not wasting time on bureaucracy - it's output that counts. And it's simplifying my agenda, carefully choosing priorities - and not taking on too much.
Accountability and Responsibility:
This is performance-driven leadership. "I will deliver against KPIs, holding myself to the highest standards." I will also hold other people accountable - first by setting clear expectations and then by telling them if they are on the right path. It's staring reality in the eye - doing it with numbers. It's taking responsibility for Blueair's overall performance, not just by delivering my results but by helping other people deliver their results. Finally, it's personally driving change and using operational discipline to deliver on the promise.
Building Talent and Teams:
This is people-driven leadership. It's passion for people. It's having the best people in the right positions, whatever the person's gender or background. It's giving people plenty of room to do their part and recognizing them for their contributions. It's investing in people's development - giving them feedback and challenging work. It's also constantly challenging myself to grow and improve. And it's building aligned, cohesive teams that pull together to win.
If you consider yourself a go-getter who loves to #win, and someone who loves to have fun, then we may have the job for you.
Blueair is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. You will be considered for this position based upon your experience and education, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, ancestry; marital, disabled, or veteran status.
