    Rethinking Leadership S2E3 | Amy Edmondson | Leading in times of uncertainty and interdependence

    In this episode of the podcast Rethinking Leadership, Roemer Visser speaks with Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School and author of The Fearless Organization and Right Kind of Wrong, about what is required of leaders in a world defined by uncertainty and interdependence. They discuss how many of today’s senior leaders were shaped in environments where problems were predictable and expertise could reliably determine the “right” answer. That era, Amy notes, has passed. “The taken-for-granted mental models that many leaders grew up with just don’t work in a highly uncertain context.”

    Rethinking Leadership S2E2 | Jeroen De Flander: common pitfalls in strategy execution

    In this episode, Roemer Visser speaks with Jeroen De Flander, strategist and Managing Director of the Performance Factory, about why so many strategies fail. Not in design, but in execution. As De Flander explains, the focus of most organizations is in the wrong place: “All the energy and focus has been going to strategy formulation.” His research shows that the real challenge lies in behavior and leadership: “Forty to sixty percent of the strategy gets lost during execution.” De Flander describes a major mismatch between where leadership attention goes and where the real pain is in organizations. Strategy often looks strong on paper, but translating it into daily decisions is where it breaks down.

    Rethinking Leadership S2E1 | Richard Boyatzis | Common pitfalls in leadership and intentional change

    Our first guest of the new season of Rethinking Leadership is Richard Boyatzis, Distinguished University Professor, leadership researcher and author. Together with Executive Professor Roemer Visser, he explores what truly drives intentional and sustainable change. They challenge the idea that numbers and goals should come first, arguing instead that vision, purpose, and positive emotional connection are the real catalysts for transformation. This episode dives into the power of hope and possibility, the importance of creating quality relationships, and how leaders can keep their teams learning and creative. What does it take to lead change that lasts? And how can leaders inspire rather than push their people forward?
