The automotive industry is changing fast — and we’re not just talking about the pandemic. The electric vehicle revolution is going to be a shift as monumental as when cars first began selling on the market.
There’s no one who knows this better than Andy Palmer, also known as the “Godfather of the EV.” As the former COO of Nissan, Andy led the Nissan Leaf project, which became the world’s first mass-market EV, and has continued to work in new energy vehicles and batteries throughout his career.
According to Andy, startups and even old companies that don’t catch up with the EV revolution are going to fall behind, and many will fail completely. And an essential part of survival requires reflecting on the company culture and making necessary changes.
“This is so big that getting your corporate culture right is the only way that you could get to a 70% possibility of success. It doesn't guarantee success, but it gets there an awful lot more if you have people that basically know what they're working for, like what they're working for, are consistent in what they're working for, and have the energy to deliver what they're working for,” Andy says. “And you only do that by setting the tone and the culture of the companies that you're working in.”
Tune in to the first episode of the Automotive Leaders Podcast as Jan sits down with Andy to talk about the EV revolution and what it will take for leaders in the auto industry to survive it and thrive. Make sure to stay ‘till the end of this episode to hear more about Andy’s glory days as a punk rocker and his and Jan’s shared admiration for Vivienne Westwood!
