The Leadership Enigma

This episode is part of The Leadership Enigma CEO Series with SatinderPal (SP) Singh, CEO of Adani Total Private Limited in India. SP chats about the power of humility and empathy as he fondly remembers washing dishes in Australia in order to make ends meet and how, as CEO he still uses that human centred approach to be able to work across regions and cultures and build homogenous and unified teams whilst leveraging their diversity of thought. SP is a great example of authenticity in context and how he continuously navigates change personally and professionally by embracing his vulnerability and using it as a powerful mechanism to drive open, transparent and honest debate amongst his team and key stakeholders to drive sustainable change. Don't miss this episode.  Watch & Subscribe: 👀 https://www.youtube.com/@theleadersenigma/videosListen & Subscribe: 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5NSnRyHzPmyY5OWhGzKU5Pwww.leadersenigma.com Hosted on Acast.

Part 3 of the Anniversary Episode with Cheryl Stokes, Partner at Hedrick & Struggles and Greg Orme, author of 'The Human Edge' which won Business Book of the Year 2020. In this episode we chat about The Inclusive Human Centred Leader and how we must rely on the 4C's (Consciousness, Curiosity, Creativity & Collaboration) to differentiate ourselves from a world of machines. We discuss how leaders must discover their unique humanity in order to engage and inspire others to do the same. Inclusive leaders value individuality, create a sense of belonging and build deep purpose and engagement in their organisations. Keith also outlines the balance of IQ + EQ + DQ (Decency Quotient) which may be the Triple Threat for leaders in a post pandemic environment. Watch & Subscribe: 👀 https://www.youtube.com/@theleadersenigma/videosListen & Subscribe: 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5NSnRyHzPmyY5OWhGzKU5Pwww.leadersenigma.com Hosted on Acast.
