Jason Buechel had a big task ahead of him when he started at Whole Foods: Consolidate thirteen distinct regions of teams into a system where individualization remained but could be scaled efficiently. His successes led him from the CTO/CIO position to COO in 2017 (when Amazon acquired Whole Foods), and now he leads as CEO. This journey has come with plenty of lessons. In this episode of the Take Command podcast, Jason discusses his style of servant leadership and what he’s learned while leading his teams through major changes. Everything he does is motivated by the idea that “our goal is ultimately not just how do we serve customers today, tomorrow, five years, ten years from now? But we want to change this entire industry so we can make sure that this is protected for future generations.” Tune in to hear why you shouldn’t dismiss things that you may not fully understand, why getting real-time feedback after you put solutions out there is important, and why you should always put your own name on the list.
