In times of uncertainty and change, what do we need from leaders? On this episode, I'm sepaking to Dr Siegfried Hoenle, a leadership expert whose approach to leadership is relentlessly positive.

Siegfried believes that leaders need to deliver their mission through three 'P's: passion, purpose and partnership.

In our discussion. Siegfried emphasizes the need for leaders to genuinely embody the values of their organization and create a community where people want to belong and flourish. He's no fan of the "you're lucky to work here" philosophy that many employers adopt.

Instead, he believes that if organisations want to attract the best talent that they need to offer compelling propositions. And that requires leaders that understand what their employees and prospective employees need and want.

In the past, career progression was often looked at in the context of following rigid paths. Paths that, if we're honest, probably suited no one. But if we won't be able to have necessary skills to lead organisations in the 21st century and feel fulfilled, then we need to think a bit more fluidly. That's also really important if we want to develop more diverse and therefore effective workforces.
