Don Knauss of Clorox, on Putting Your Followers First
Keywords:
Don Knauss is CEO of Clorox. Here he describes the things he looks for in new hires and people working in the company- passion for work, ability to work smart (analytical, creative capabilities), mentoring ability (how they develop people), informal manner (not tied up in hierarchy), and values (especially integrity). He says the more authority one has the more one relies on persuasion, as this tells the people around you, you are OK- someone they can trust and work with. Knauss sees leadership as being dual, a head part and a heart part. The head part not more than 3 things to focus on, easily distilled and incentive structure aligned around it, the simple fundamentals communicated over and over. The heart part is about the people and caring for them more than you care for yourself.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
