00:00As I said, strategy is important.
00:02You've got to have the right capabilities, the right team.
00:05But culture keeps that organization
00:07churning and moving forward.
00:08Is that happiness?
00:10Is it?
00:10No.
00:11I don't think it's happiness, but it's
00:12understanding the whys.
00:13And I think if I was going to leave with some advice,
00:16it's always important.
00:17And I had a meeting with my top 50 leaders
00:20just a couple of weeks ago.
00:22And we spent a lot of time making
00:24sure they understood the why.
00:25Why do we make certain decisions?
00:26Why are we making certain investments?
00:28Why is culture so important?
00:30And having the patience and the time
00:32to talk about the whys, not just the what,
00:34is critically important in today's environment.
