This month I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Naomi Simson the CEO of Red Balloon a company that is changing gifting in Australia. They have been on the BRW list 6 years running and were ranked by Hewitt’s with a 97% staff engagement score. One of their top values is FUN at work. Click here to listen to the interview;
 
Some of the highlights from the interview for me were;
 
  • Seeing how a CEO of Naomi’s calibre is so connected with her team.
  • She leads from the centre of a tribe not the top of a hierarchy.
  • Hearing how fun can be commercially a great business decision and a profitable one.
  • Of course it would be remiss of me not to mention meeting Dexter the dog. He was a great interviewee with Mum Naomi and certainly made work #furk.
