SONAE

A #Throwback to the unforgettable #SonaeValues Caravan, which travelled across our offices to showcase what it truly means to #LeadWithImpact. 💥 The tour may have moved on, but the creativity 💡, focus 🎯 and quick decision-making ⏱️ it sparked at every stop remain fresh in our minds. In this challenge, teams had just minutes to build the tallest structure possible using limited resources – proving that impactful leadership isn’t about having more, but about applying a #GrowthMindset to what we already have and striving for new heights. Our value “Lead with impact” is grounded in the belief that leadership is an attitude. We’re all leaders in our day-to-day approach, constantly seeking new opportunities to make a difference and drive meaningful change. At #Sonae, we don’t wait for ideal conditions, we create them. And we bring others along with us. 🤝 #Teamwork #Culture #CorporateValues #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership
