Boston Consultant Group president and CEO Rich Lesser and Wendy Woods, global leader of Social Impact for BCG, joined HuffPost Live at Davos on Saturday to share how empowering workers actually leads to more productivity.
"In our world, having great talent want to come and want to stay is the single biggest driver of success," Lesser said.
Lesser said empowering millennial workers and making them aware of the impact they'll have on the world through their work has increased the success of BCG.
"I really think the more we've invested to make it a unique work environment... it's totally a positive," Lesser said.
"I just think if leaders don't set a tone about why we do what we do and why we do it in a way that's enriching for all of us, then people just assume all leadership cares about is the bottom line," Lesser added.
Woods said it's extremely important at a place like BCG that people like Lesser, the CEO, are fully on board with the empowering workers and showing them their jobs serve a greater purpose. Lesser said he tries to lead by example but he's "probably on email too much."
