Can A Global Tech Company Be 6 Star? With Dave Blanchard & James Burkitt - #9


This episode is a gem mined from the history lessons of commercial growth, evolution and commercial success. Dave and James took us on a journey that left us all wanting more.

We discussed what a 6-star business truly means in our evolving society and how competition needs to make way for greater needs coming from a community perspective, that's woven by purpose and care. 

In this engaging and informative conversation we cover many topics:


10:10 Why the world needs 6 star businesses

12:39 Businesses exist for the good of the people and community, not the business

13:55 The inside experience of a global tech 6 star business

16:40 The outside customer experience of the global tech 6 star business

20:40 Do businesses exist for the benefit of shareholders? or the community?

28:00 Is business a competition? or a journey?

34:30 The direction of our new economy

Plus, we learnt first hand what it was like to work for a global 6-star tech business, AND we learnt first hand what it was like to be served as a customer by the same global 6-star tech business.

Brilliant, interesting, and thought provoking.
Enjoy!

About the Podcast

Mission Activated
Conversations and reflections on living your purpose and leading from alignment
Mission Activated is a podcast about living with purpose and leading from alignment.
Hosted by Aveline Clarke, founder of 6 Star Leaders, the show moves between two kinds of episodes: conversations with people doing meaningful work in their own way, and solo reflections drawn from her work coaching conscious leaders through what gets in the way and what's possible on the other side.
This isn't a podcast about hustle, performance, or scale at all costs. It's about the inner work that makes the outer work matter. Self-trust. Clean communication. Owning your part. Becoming someone others can safely navigate by.
If you're tired of leadership content that's loud and shallow, and you're looking for something quieter, more honest, and more useful, this is for you.
New episodes fortnightly. Stay aligned.
