A discussion on how to be a successful leader, with Craig Davis, Head of Cloud Success Services at SAP.

One of the best ways to learn how to become a great leader is to learn from someone who has already traveled that path. Someone who is not only successful, but who is held in great esteem not only by peers, but also, and maybe more importantly by the people being led. There is no better example of this than Craig Davis, whose path to leadership started on the athletic fields of high school through to a senior position in one of the world’s most well-known tech sector companies. In this interview Craig candidly shares his lessons learned and translates them into teachable moments. 

A conversation with Natalie Benamou. There are numerous challenges facing women in business, not just social and economic, but self-imposed as well. Women approach things very differently than their male counterparts. Expectations around doing a good job and getting it all done make it difficult for many women to step up and demand their fair share of acknowledgement. It is possible to shatter that glass ceiling and to help others do it too, but not only do you have to know how to define yourself, you also need to know how others define you – and then step forward to make the necessary adjustments. On this episode I am joined by a very special guest, Natalie Benamou, Chief Executive Officer of HerCsuiteTM, to share her insights and wisdom for navigating a successful career. I describe her as a purpose driven leader, a strategic event creator, and a speaker, but more than that, she’s a rainmaker for women who want to rise and thrive.

Most leaders don't realize how critical central emotions are to building the right culture. They focus on building a logic based culture with shared intellectual values, which is important, of course, but what is also needed is a well-established and vibrant emotional culture. It is my pleasure to speak with Josephine Monberg, head of brand, community and culture strategy for the global value advisory team at SAP on this most important topic.
