Description

Before we take a break ahead of series two, there's time for a special bonus episode. Sir Charlie Mayfield, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership and Be the Business, took a few minutes out of his day to take us inside the day-to-day workings at one of Britain's biggest retail brands.

He discussed:

  • How he stays connected to thousands of the company's "partners" around the country
  • Why continual improvement is so important
  • What happens when he visits different John Lewis or Waitrose sites
  • His rallying call for British firms wanting to improve but not knowing where to start


GUEST: Sir Charlie Mayfield
HOST: Hunter Ruthven
TAGS: small business, SME, leadership, business improvement, management, startup, entrepreneurs, productivity, innovation, luxury goods, manufacturing
