On a Mission Podcast by ELLIE McKAY
About The Episode
Mitzi Perdue is one of the most widely-respected business minds in the world, having gained her experience through her family-founded empire of Sheraton Hotels, her late husband’s poultry empire, and having herself founded one of the largest suppliers of wine grapes in California. She is also the author of 27 books, including ’10 Ways To Nurture Family Cohesiveness’, ‘Four Lessons Your Family Business Can Learn From A Homeless Shelter’ and ’52 Items To Keep That You May Not Have Thought About’.
Mitzi joins Ellie to talk about not just her incredible journey through the world of business and the founding principles that have kept her family business at the height of success for the past century, but also her outstanding philanthropic work, including her fight against human trafficking. It’s a conversation that displays the importance of placing the human experience at the heart of not just business, but life, by serving others we truly achieve success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Just because we have money does not mean that we need to be wasteful. Frugality is a pursuit in life that should be admired.
- The greatest leaders amongst us are the ones who empower their people and trust them to deliver on the skills they have acquired. This provides a sense of responsibility and pride.
- When we find ourselves in a position of privilege, it becomes essential for us to give something back. We can make the lives of others better by simply acting with kindness, compassion and generosity.
- The depth of our relationships with people is defined by not just the amount we say to someone, but by the questions we ask and how much we listen to what they are saying. The route to true engagement is to listen to the words of others.
BEST MOMENTS
‘People have a compulsion to live up to, or down to, your expectations’
‘We admire frugality. We admire being ecological’
‘A leader’s job is to give people a better vision of themselves’
‘It’s absolutely essential that you give back in every way that you possibly can’
