Leadership & Company Culture From the Former CEO of WD-40 - Garry Ridge (Video)
In this 14 May 2025 video, host Mike Rowe talks with Garry Ridge, the former CEO of WD-40, a company that’s filled with employees who absolutely love their jobs. It’s actually kind of crazy. In countless surveys conducted over many years, the level of job satisfaction at WD-40 is off-the-charts. The question is why, and Garry has spent the last few years answering that question all over the world. Today, he answers it here, and in the process, gives me a few tips on how to be a better boss. His advice is excellent. Whether or not I take it of course, is another matter. Is this guy the boss you wish you had? Or, do you just love his accent?
