When does talking about mission become just more talk?

Gerard Amaro, Executive Director and Chief Revenue Officer of Conquest, joins co-hosts Jeff Engle and Carmen Brooks to talk about mission as a concept in episode 7 of the Conquest podcast “All the War They Want.”

During Gerard’s 27 years in business, he became interested in what it takes to make a business successful. He and Jeff both agree that a mission needs to be more than a cliché, more than words strung together to make a sentence. To be a guiding light, it needs every employee to believe in it and then take actions that align to that mission.
