Leadership 2.0 Podcast

Welcome to the 'Leadership 2.0' podcast! I believe that leadership is very important for two reasons. First of all, the decisions leaders take, and their capabilities to implement these decisions, are the most important differentiators between the success and failure of the organizations they work for. Secondly, leaders make a  huge difference in the well-being of the people in their organizations, and, finally, for the well-being of our society as a whole.  This podcast presents interviews with thought leaders and practitioners in the area of leadership,  to inspire you to become the best leader you can be! What my guests say about this Podcast: 'You ask very good questions', 'You really do your research', 'You go beyond the surface'. So, if you want to listen to dialogues about leadership that go beyond the surface, this podcast is probably for you! Happy listening, and, please let me know what you think!

    15. Focus on your Strengths - Sally Bibb

    'I defy anybody to be energized by most appraisal systems I have seen in my career' - Sally BibbMost HR professionals and line managers (present company included!) are used to focusing on the 'development areas' of their staff. The idea is to take the areas of strength for granted and to actively work on their weaknesses to foster their professional development.The question is, however, how effective this is, and which business opportunities we miss, by not building on the strengths of our st...

    14. How to ensure successful leadership transitions - Michael Watkins

    The statistics are sobering, not only do 49% of external executive hires end in failure within 18 months, but internal moves prove to be challenging as well. For instance, 40% of internal job moves involving high potentials also end in failure. Besides the fact that these failures often have a traumatic impact for the individuals involved, the costs for the organizations are huge. Not only in terms of imago and hiring costs but, more importantly, in terms of opportunity costs.To find out why ...
