Michael Geoghegan, the former Chief Executive of HSBC, took two weeks every summer to undertake a roadshow tour to as many locations as he could visit in a 15-day period. With 300,000 employees across the world, it was virtually impossible to visit every location, but by traveling to 18 major HSBC cities spread across all continents, staging town halls in large offsite convention centers and auditoriums, sometimes two in a single day, hundreds of miles apart, Geoghegan was able to stand in front of tens of thousands of employees, talk about his strategy and answer their questions. He didn’t reach every employee, but he tried, and his approval ratings among employees during his tenure showed they appreciated it.
