Leadership and organisational development

Leadership plays a crucial role in realising change, developing people, and building successful organisations. But what distinguishes effective leaders from managers who are primarily concerned with daily operations?

In this episode of Symbol Talks, we engage in conversation with Paul Smilde about his experiences with leadership in international organisations, including his 22 years at Philips and his time in Korea. Paul shares insights from his career and from his book It’s Not About You, in which he demonstrates how leadership can contribute to organisational development, cultural change, and better results.

Additionally, we discuss the challenges of leading in an ever-changing environment, the influence of cultural differences, and the lessons that managers and teams can take back to their own organisations. An interesting episode for anyone involved in leadership, organisational development, and achieving sustainable change.
