Robert Andersson - AUTHOR of: "Who makes a leader not What" "This is the future of leadership, where actions speak louder than outputs and supporting our people (and looking after ourselves) is fundamental to success." Kristy Keltie, Manager of Organisational Change Management in the Public Sector As an entrepreneur, Robert has been the founder of more than a dozen successful businesses across Australia and Europe. As a youth Robert lived a very dark life moulded by the divorce of his parents and the death of his much loved grandfather. At this age he declared he wanted to become a millionaire compromising his morals and his ethics, no matter how rich he became. The book and this interview is about Robert's search for a better self and going from the dark side to the light side. Life is about creation not discovering. In his business life, when he was living the dark side all he thought about was how can he control people. When he decided to live life on the light side all he thought about was how can he empower people so they could thrive. When you give people their own autonomy you have so much more time to be creative yourself. The interview describes what happens next in Robert’s life. Final thoughts: Simon Sinek has written a book that Leading all starts with Why. Robert has a different perspective if your who is on the dark side your why will be completely different to your who if you are on the light side.
