CEO Doug McMillon has held the top spot at the world's largest retailer for five years.
The first lesson relates to leadership and realizing that you can't"lead from behind.""As a leader during transformation, you have to be out in front — show that you want to learn, be curious, introduce new ideas, ask questions," McMillon writes. He also writes about being forward-thinking and avoiding only making decisions in the moment."We're playing the long game. Our priority is to position our company for long-term success," McMillon writes."History has shown us that companies that focused too much on the short term were doomed to fail."
The final lesson he shared was related to trust."As we strive to make our company better, we will also look for ways to build trust by communicating the good work our people are doing and its impact," McMillon writes."Included is the work we are doing to strengthen our culture of integrity and improve our compliance talent, processes and systems."He also highlighted the changes toward sustainability Walmart has made recently, as well as the intentions behind those decisions.
