What kind of a leader are you? There are 8 types of leaders and each one makes decisions and impacts their organization in a different way. Understanding these archetypes helps us create more effective teams and make better decisions.

In our conversation, Manfred, talks about how his early life during the Second World War in Holland led him to study leadership and how people behave in organizations.

Skills get you in the door, but 'unspoken rules' help you climb the ladder. I had an awesome chat with Gorick Ng, Author of "The Unspoken Rules,” about this concept. In our conversation, Gorick shared his story from helping his mom after she lost her job to going to Harvard. He emphasized the importance of understanding the "unspoken rules" in the corporate world, which aren't taught in school but are crucial for success. These rules revolve around three main pillars: competence, commitment, and compatibility. These rules are about being good at your job, showing you're dedicated, and fitting in with your team. Gorick mentioned that it's not just about doing your job but also showing you can do more. While competence and skills are essential, understanding and navigating the unspoken rules of the corporate world can play a significant role in one's career trajectory. __________________ This episode is sponsored by Kyndryl.
