Leadership 2.0 Podcast artwork

Welcome to the 'Leadership 2.0' podcast!

I believe that leadership is very important for two reasons:

First of all, the decisions leaders take, and their capabilities to implement these decisions, are the most important differentiators between the success and failure of the organizations they work for.

Secondly, leaders make a huge difference in the well-being of the people in their organizations, and, finally, for the well-being of our society as a whole.

This podcast presents interviews with thought leaders and practitioners in the area of leadership, to inspire you to become the best leader you can be!

What my guests say about this Podcast:

'You ask very good questions'

'You really do your research'

'You go beyond the surface'

So, if you want to listen to dialogues about leadership that go beyond the surface, this podcast is probably for you!

Happy listening, and, please let me know what you think!
