In the sixth episode of our third series, we have an inspiring guest on the podcast, Joris Merks-Benjaminsen; a Leadership Trainer and Coach, and author of the book Managing without Power, with a passion for helping organisations to establish a thoughtful balance between the human side of leadership, and structure and accountability.

_____________

In this episode, Joris shares the insights he has learnt from an extensive career within Google, one of the most forward thinking organisations, where he became Head of Google Academy, becoming one of the highest scoring managers of all time within the organisation. We discuss the many lessons he learnt and approaches he took from this experience, and how we can all use these to develop our leadership practice. Joris has such a unique approach to leadership; where he balances his need for structure and discipline, with a humanistic approach; centred around the individuals within the team.

Some of Joris’ unique approaches are awe inspiring, from flying out to meet members of his team to take a forest walk in order to have deep and meaningful conversations about their careers and ambitions, to actively encouraging the members of his team to think outside of the organisation for their ambitions. I came away from this conversation inspired to take a more personal approach to my leadership, to have more honest and deep conversations in order to maximise the growth and development of those in my charge, and I know you will too.

Joris’ experience has helped him to develop an extensive toolkit to leading with a more holistic approach, combining data with the empathetic style of leadership. Connect with him on LinkedIn and check out his book and website to see what he has to offer you:
