S6-Ep11: Shifting from Trusting Institutions to Trusting People

Guest: Danièle Henkel, Knight of the Order of Merit & CEO of Daniele Henkel Enterprises What’s love got to do with leadership? Turns out: quite a lot!   Danièle Henkel sees love in many ways: from passion for your work to genuine respect for the people around you. It’s another facet in building trust; in this case, though, the trust is in people rather than institutions. In a world where leaders often take the quick path – and its ethical shortcuts – to achieve success, Danièle’s take on trust and authenticity in the C-suite is enormously refreshing. She shares her personal journey, from her early days in Morocco to running a successful company in Canada – and the lessons that journey taught her. Each setback along the way has only fueled her relentless optimism, and her drive for leaders everywhere to be clear and responsible for their words and actions.     Produced in association with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org/ .   Other episodes you'll enjoy: Leader Character with Dr. Mary Crossan Love at First Slice: Pizza & Passionate Leadership with Tom Krouse The Rise of Humanness: The Role of People in an AI World with Chris Nolan & Michael Schindler   For daily wisdom from our guests, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn.
