G’day, it’s AJ and welcome to the 10 Degree Shift, a show all about how people have made small shifts in their life and leadership that have had a big impact.
Today my special guest is an amazing leader from the Manufacturing industry, the managing director of 100 year old firm Bekaert Stephen Hennessey. In this episode we explore how the balance of a leader showing competency and care can lead to higher staff retention and engagement, a better life work balance and ultimately a sustainable happy business and life.
Stephen shares many stories from his career from an electrical tradesman to his work now as an MD and how he has invested in being a natural servant leader along the way. From how he callibrates the culture to how he ensures there are high performing relationships across the business and how he achieved unity of their blue and white collar workers, there is gold in this interview from start to finish.
In Stephen's words - if you want to lead well don't be afraid to ask for help and make sure you are practicing self reflection along the way.
