After realizing that a career in investment banking wasn’t for her, Julie Lodge-Jarrett went to a career fair in Detroit to stand in a long line, wondering if she could talk to someone about a job at Ford Motor Company. She landed in HR, and after a multi-decade career at Ford, she was named the Chief People and Purpose Officer at DICK’s Sporting Goods in 2019.
In this episode of the People + Strategy Podcast, Lodge-Jarrett joins host Mo Fathelbab to discuss topics including how DICK’s promotes civility in a retail environment and how the company uses “dialogue circles” to encourage healthy debate and discussion among team members.
