For this episode, David is joined by Anu Rathninde, who is the president of a multibillion-dollar tech company. He leads a team of over 30,000 people, so naturally, Anu has learned what it takes to be a great leader. His leadership style drives meaningful change and purposeful progress; despite all of the uncertainties we're currently facing in the world.

Anu has written a book called Tackling Complexity which is designed to help other leaders to do the same. He and David discuss this and some of the strategies Anu is currently using to navigate the increasingly complex business environment we are all working in. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
True leaders work to make the people around them better. Acting as an enabler to ensure that they achieve their full potential.
Making people better usually involves some tough love.
Your frontline workers are the ones with the true power – work to empower them.
You cannot manage others until you have learned to manage and take care of yourself.
As a leader, you need to be accountable for your actions, know yourself and your purpose.
It's A leader's job to create the right mindset in your people. Don´t get too involved in the details. For example, process mapping is not your job.
Millennials are a smart workforce; they are actually challenging us to be better.
If you do bad things, you will get bad results. A good leader is always striving to do things the right way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It is absolutely crucial that we have this honest dialogue.’

‘Anytime something goes wrong, I go in front of the mirror, and I ask – How did that happen, what did I do wrong?’

‘My job (as a leader) is to show what good looks like.’

‘I’m learning a lot from this next generation….it’s amazing to see the passion in this young generation.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
