Jim Voss, CEO of Tenneco, focuses on people.
In this clip, Jim explains why understanding human behavior is critical to business performance, why trust matters during transformation, and why the best leaders balance high care with high accountability.
If you want world-class results, you need more than metrics. You need a culture where people know they matter and standards never slip.
What we get into:
➡️ Why Jim leads with human behavior, not the scoreboard. You don't win by talking about the numbers
➡️ Why trust is everything in a transformation. Customers and teams need to know where your head is and that you're in it for the long haul
➡️ The standard that actually wins: high care, high accountability. Tough on standards, tender-hearted with people, never one without the other

The Automotive Leaders Podcast is hosted by Jan Griffiths, the champion for culture change in the automotive industry. From a farm in Wales to the C-suite of a $3 billion Tier-1 supplier, Jan built her career inside this industry. Now she's out to transform it.
Her argument is blunt. The pressure on this industry isn't letting up. The survivors will be the ones who reinvent how they work. Speed wins. Everyone else gets left behind.
Every episode, Jan sits down with the leaders driving that change. Real conversations about tariffs, supply chain shocks, EV uncertainty, AI, and the shift from command-and-control to authentic, human-centered leadership.
