44. Willy Kuhne - Leading at Google with clarity, rhythm, and heart

Today’s guest, Willy Kuhene, is a global leader at Google overseeing a €0.5B program portfolio spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. He’s the creator of the Standard of Consistency, a leadership framework that helps teams drive high performance through clarity, rhythm, and trust. In this episode, we explore how consistency becomes a competitive advantage in fast-changing environments, the art of leading global teams with empathy, and the lessons Willy has learned as both a leader and a father—about priorities, unpredictability, and leading with heart. Willy also shares how his passion for design and intentional living comes to life through nortehaus, a retreat where architecture and leadership intersect.Links:www.wiku.studiohttps://www.amazon.com/Standard-Consistency-mindset-systems-high-performing-ebook/dp/B0FJ7BL1GM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NCDV94ZYLD64&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.P-IOmosCL-ZS7XHfdIhhfg.xcCc6Gm3bxCsuhRc6pZuZZx0Zw2Yb4PPO3Lzf9rsnVY&dib_tag=se&keywords=standard+of+consistency+willy&qid=1757685337&sprefix=standard+of+consistency+will%2Caps%2C189&sr=8-1wikustudio.substack.com
