In this episode, I had a conversation with Franco Banfi, the Chief Operation Officer of Decathlon US. With more than 20 years of experience at Decathlon, Franco shares his passion for sports and the company's mission of making sports available to everyone. We dive into Decathlon's philosophy of customer focus and corporate values, including inclusive leadership, and responsibilities. Franco also shares insights from inspiring leaders who have influenced his leadership style.
Throughout our conversation with Franco Banfi, we discovered the secrets behind Decathlon's success in retaining employees and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Franco also gave us insights into his own leadership style, which was influenced by inspiring leaders such as Julio Velazco - the coach of the Italian national volley-ball team - and Michel Leclercq, the founder of Decathlon. He emphasized the importance of focusing on developing the strengths of team members and hiring people who are stronger than oneself.
Join us as we explore the story of Franco Banfi and Decathlon, and gain valuable insights into leadership and creating a culture of continuous improvement.
