S4E6: Building Leaders in the Toughest Environments in Food

Meat and poultry is one of the most demanding environments in food — high pressure, high turnover, compliance-first by necessity. The leaders operating inside it are often asked to carry more than they were ever developed to hold. Casey Gallimore and Megan Lynn Gifford see this across hundreds of companies. They join Catalyst Food Leaders cofounders Tia Glave and Jill Stuber in this episode of Real Talk, where they talk about what the industry's best companies do to develop their people deliberately — and what it costs when they do not. It weaves in the real value of mentorship programs like The Women's Meat Industry Network (WMIN) while naming honestly what mentorship alone cannot do. Honest, forward-looking, and built for the leader in food who is ready to do something different. Download Catalyst's Culture Gap Guide here: https://www.catalystfoodleaders.com/f...
