In this discussion Richard and Deborah dive into what motivation looks like on a daily and on-going basis, as well as how new leaders can embrace current systems by focusing on what’s going well. ‘Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a person to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’ is one of the key guiding principles of Richard Davidson throughout his career.  Now, the Senior VP of Sales, R& D and Marketing at Mafco/Whole Earth Brands and previously the General Manager of the Taste Business Unit of Frutarom/IFF North America, Richard’s career has been defined by his ability to identify, harness and develop the best talents in those who he manages.   You can connect with Richard in the following ways: LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/richard-davidson-ms-01843714 Websites: www.wholeearthbrands.com                   www.magnasweet.com                    www.merisant.com      You can download a preview of the CEOs Compass here: https://mailchi.mp/coviellocm/the-ceos-compass   When I began the Drop in CEO Podcast, I knew that the best advice we could ever receive was from people who had been there.
