Do you think that being vulnerable can strengthen sustainability? Most of us have learned that showing vulnerability is a weakness. If you want to be a true professional, you put on your picture perfect mask, you work long hours and you definitely do not show your insecurities or weaknesses. But did you know that the most inspiring leaders actually do show their vulnerability? It is what makes them human and it helps them to connect with fellow human beings. Learn more about the strength of vulnerability in my talk with Diane Zandee. She will share real-life examples of how it has helped her, as Director Procurement at Eneco, to make big sustainable changes happening at the company. Under her leadership Eneco became one of the frontrunners in sustainable energy supply in the Netherlands.
Diane is a researcher and teacher at Nyenrode Business University, a consultant and a sustainable CFO. We have met each other at an event that focused on sustainable reporting last October. I was moderating the event and she was one of the key note speakers. Where she spoke about role of procurement and how they can play a huge role in supporting organizations to adopt circular economies. Enjoy this show!
