About the show

Welcome to the 'Leadership 2.0' podcast! I believe that leadership is very important for two reasons. First of all, the decisions leaders take, and their capabilities to implement these decisions, are the most important differentiators between the success and failure of the organizations they work for. Secondly, leaders make a huge difference in the well-being of the people in their organizations, and, finally, for the well-being of our society as a whole. This podcast presents interviews with thought leaders and practitioners in the area of leadership, to inspire you to become the best leader you can be! What my guests say about this Podcast: 'You ask very good questions', 'You really do your research', 'You go beyond the surface'. So, if you want to listen to dialogues about leadership that go beyond the surface, this podcast is probably for you! Happy listening, and, please let me know what you think!

41. 'The Future of Executive Coaching' - Stefan Stenzel

Like any industry, the executive coaching industry needs to adapt to stay relevant.For executive coaches, this means—among other things—reconsidering the classic boundary between executive and "life" coaching in a post-COVID-19 world, navigating generational differences (from long series of face-to-face discussions with baby boomers to crisp, powerful virtual interventions for Gen Z), integrating AI (potentially alongside wearables), and acknowledging the corporate social responsibility of executive coaches.I recently discussed these topics with Stefan Stenzel, who has been active in the coaching world since the early 2000s and published Die Zukunft des Coaching-Business (The Future of the Coaching Business) in 2022. A follow-up book will be published in the first quarter of 2027.In our conversation, we covered the following topics:The diminishing boundary between executive and 'life' coachingDo different generations have different coaching needs?The application of 'wearables' in executive coachingAI: A competitor to executive coaches?Hybrid coaching (Human + AI)Technology & data privacyDevelopments in organizational structures & leadershipThe corporate social responsibility of executive coachesAbout Stefan StenzelStefan Stenzel (Dipl.-Psych.) studied Organizational Psychology at Heidelberg and Mannheim with a minor in Business Administration.

40. ' Why Great Leaders Ask Great Questions' - Steve Mostyn

Are you working ‘in’ or ‘on’ the firm?This is just one of the many provocative and thought stimulating questions Steve Mostyn asks in his book 'Why Great Leaders Ask Great Questions'. For a long time we looked for leader to get answers. According to Steve this is because we confuse authority with leadership. True leadership in business is grounded in knowing ourselves and building a reflective practice to enhance the understanding of ourselves, our organization and our enviroment, with the aim to develop ourselves, our teams, and our business.In the 40th episode of the Leadership 2.0 podcast, I interview Steve Mostyn, focusing on the question how leaders can develop such a reflective practice. Steve is a globally recognised leader in senior executive leadership development and an internationally acclaimed thought-leader in leadership training, and the author of the book 'Why great Leaders ask Great Questions'.During our conversation we discussed the following topics:Why Great Leaders ask Great QuestionsHow Leaders Reflect Skilled DefensivenessHow Leaders can learn to ReflectThe impact of reflection on executionExperiences and EmpowermentShould Leaders outsource their Problems?Business Reviews as Joint Problem solving sessions (instead of blame games)Reflective Leaders grow Reflective LeadersReflection in Executive Programs of the Said Business SchoolAbout Steve MostynSteve Mostyn is the author of Why Great Leaders Ask Great Questions: 7 essential reflections for every aspiring leader (John Murray Business). Mostyn is one of the world’s leading designers and directors of senior executive leadership programs and an internationally recognised thought leader in leadership training. He is Associate Fellow at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford; creates and leads the Oxford University Executive Leadership Program; and is Honorary Professor, Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow. Mostyn has led many corporate programs for senior leaders including the UN, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Mail, The Financial Services Authority, and Mercedes F1 Team.Book 'Why Great Leaders Ask Great Questions'Oxford Executive Leadership Program Said Business SchoolAny questions or comments?

39. 'Carl Jung's Framework for Personal Development' - James Johnston

We all have behavioral preferences. Some of us get energy from being part of a group, others from quiet reflection on their own. When it comes to how we gather data in decision-making processes, some people prefer looking at the facts presented by the current situation, while others rely more on the future possibilities the current situation offers. The way we make decisions is also different. There are people who prefer to make decisions based on an analytical decision-making process, with their values as 'guard rails', while others are guided primarily by their values.The founder of Analytical Psychology, Carl Jung, described these in his book 'Psychological Types' as Extraversion versus Introversion, Sensing versus Intuition, and Thinking versus Feeling. This was later popularized by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs in their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).Jung himself, however, was very critical about boxing people into categories. He reportedly complained that his work had been turned into 'nothing but a childish parlour game' and was particularly concerned, for instance, about the reductive application of type theory in the medical profession, where practitioners would slot patients into his system and give them the corresponding advice.It is important, therefore, to recognize our predispositions as strengths, but not to see them as excuses to neglect the development of our other potential capabilities. For example, I always preferred to take decisions based on my Intuition. That worked perfectly fine when I was a single contributor, but became increasingly ineffective as  I moved to more senior roles. In order to convince my leaders, peers, and staff of my ideas and proposals, I quickly had to learn to collect and use data (Sensing). And guess what - I quickly started to like it, and in due course even built a reputation for being data savvy.Overcoming this "one-sidedness" — by bringing our psychological dispositions into conscious awareness and balance — is one the essential elements of 'Individuation', a key concept in Jung's work.Although Jung published 'Psychological Types' more than a century ago, the core notions of psychological types and individuation are still very much in use today. Think, for instance, about strengths-based management — which primarily focuses on exploiting the strengths of individuals, rather than focusing on their development needs — or encouraging people to develop themselves outside their comfort zone.In the 39th episode of the Leadership 2.0 podcast, I interviewed author James Johnston about these key notions in the work of Carl Jung.During our conversation we discussed the following topics:What is Individuation?What happens if Individuation is blocked?Can Individuation be accelerated?Do organizations have a psychological identity?How to prevent an organizational monoculture?The importance of understanding one's Psychological TypeCan Psychological Types change over time?The development of the Gifts Compass Inventory (GCI)Practical applications of the GCIAbout James JohnstonJames (Graham) Johnston is an artist, architect, author, and entrepreneur. He is passionate about innovation to make the world a better place. Out of that passion, he created the Gifts Compass Inventory (GCI), an online self-assessment founded in C.G. Jung's theory of psychological types. His book, 'Jung's Indispensable Compass: Navigating the Dynamics of Psychological Types', lays out the intellectual foundation for understanding Jung's type model as a compass. He founded the training company Gifts Compass Inc. to train professionals in the use of the GCI and other instruments. The aim of the work is to engage the types, as Jung did, for the development of a more unique personality.GCI WebsiteBookCore quardrants Daniel OfmanAny questions or comments?

38. 'The Executive Coaching Business' - Stefan Stenzel

Only a decade ago, executive coaching was associated with either very senior business leaders coached by well-known authors and thought leaders, or with leaders who were struggling in their roles and were given a coach as a last resort.Today, executive coaching has become mainstream — and it has changed significantly. First, despite the name, it is no longer the prerogative of C-level executives or their direct reports. Many companies now offer coaching to leaders at all levels of the organisation. Second, it is no longer seen as a remedy for underperformance. Instead, executive coaches are increasingly viewed the way we view coaches in sport: helping already high-performing individuals to become even better.As an executive coach myself, I support business leaders with a wide range of challenges: transitioning into new roles, defining strategies for their teams and organisations, improving collaboration with their own leaders and teams, and navigating change.As a result, executive coaching has evolved from a niche activity into a serious industry. And, like any growing industry, this raises questions about developing and maintaining professional standards, pricing, quality and technology.Stefan Stenzel has been active in the coaching world since the early 2000s and published ‘Die Zukunft des Coaching-Business’ (‘The Future of the Coaching Business’) in 2022. I recently sat down with him for two conversations to explore the state of the executive coaching business today.In our first conversation, we focused on ‘The Executive Coaching Business’and covered the following topics:The value of executive coachingMeasuring the ROI of executive coachingThe characteristics of a good executive coachAssessing the quality of an executive coachDoes the downward pressure on fees impact the quality of executive coaches?The red and blue oceans for executive coachesThe place for independent coaches in the world of Digital Coaching Platforms (DCPs)Face-to-face versus digital coachingExternal coaches versus internal coachesAbout Stefan Stenzel   Stefan Stenzel (Dipl.-Psych.) studied Organizational Psychology at Heidelberg and Mannheim with a minor in business administration. He has almost 30 years of experience in PD and OD. Since 2001 he is working at SAP SE in the role of a HR Senior Expert for Learning in the team of Global Leadership Development with varying areas of responsibilities. Based on his initial coaching training in 1998, he is working as an internal coach at SAP since 2002. With short interruptions he is globally responsible for the external coach pool across all management levels and is currently implementing a coachbot to complement the service portfolio. He is Co-founder of DBVC e.V. in 2004. In 2023 he co-founded in this context with, Dr. Uwe Böning. the so-called Think Tank “Future of Coaching” .

37. 'Ensuring Successful Executive Transitions' - Navid Nazemian

In corporate life, we accept that 40% of newly appointed executives fail - we simply accept it as an unavoidable risk.The financial and professional implications of failed transitions however, are significant for both the individual and the organization. For the individual, it means their livelihood is threatened and their professional reputation is damaged. For organizations, failed transitions have financial implications (recruitment costs and performance losses), as well as operational implications (new initiatives), and have a negative impact on for instance, employee engagement and the Employer Value Proposition (EVP).🎤  In the 37th episode of the Leadership 2.0 podcast, I talk to Navid Nazemian, my brother in arms in the Executive Transition Coaching space, about how organizations can mitigate the risk associated with executive appointments by engaging an executive coach.► During our conversation, we discussed the following topics:• Why executive transitions should be managed• The number one reason why executive transitions fail• The value of executive coaches in executive transitions• Why many organizations do not use executive coaching• The timeframe of transition coaching• The structure of transition coaching• Identifying the right ‘early wins’• Balancing ‘learning and delivering’• Selecting ‘the team’• Developing transition skills• Managing executive exits• Final thoughts►  About Navid NazemianWhen it comes to executive transitions, Navid Nazemian speaks with an authority that is grounded in research and complemented by authentic, demonstrated experience. His coach education took him on a three-year journey across three continents—Europe, Africa, and America.Working with over 250 C-level coaching clients worldwide, he distills key insights, guidance, and coaching to maximize leadership impact.

36. 'The Dark Side of Leadership' - Manfred Kets de Vries

Unfortunately, nowadays one look at a television news bulletin or a glance at a newspaper cover is enough to see the dark side of leadership.

33. How To Successfully Sell Professional Services: 'The Activator Advantage' - Matt Dixon

'Eating radishes'That is how, according to Matt Dixon, many 'doer-sellers' experience selling their services.People do not become management consultants, executive coaches, accountants, lawyers, or engineers to sell. However, for those working in professional service firms or independently, selling is an integral part of their role.At the same time, professional sales processes are changing. More and more professional services are sourced through RFPs, and buying committees are replacing traditional client relationships. This means that doer-sellers need to change their approach to sales in order to stay relevant.Based on an extensive quantitative study of nearly three thousand partners across industries such as law, accounting, consulting, investment banking, executive search, and public relations, five distinct seller types within professional service industries were identified; however only one of them, the Activator, consistently drives growth.In the 33rd episode of the Leadership 2.0 podcast, I interviewed Matt Dixon about 'The Activator Advantage - What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently.During our conversation, we discussed the following topics:00:00 Sales, Acquisition or Business Development01:43 Why Doer-Sellers Do Not like Selling04:28 What Inspired Matt To Write 'The Activator Advantage?'07:24 The Five Types Of Professional 'Doer- Sellers'20:19 The Three C’s of the Activator28:22 Why The Purchasing Behavior Of Clients Is Changing32:18 The Three Categories Of Stakeholders In The Buying Process36:00 The Three Elements Of The Activator Mindset39:24 Business Development Habits44:19 Instilling An Activator Mindset In The Organization50:15 Can I Learn To Like Eating Radishes?52:38 Final Thoughts ► About Matt DixonMatt Dixon is one of the world’s leading experts on sales, customer service and customer experience.

32. 'Ensuring successful CEO transitions' - Ty Wiggins

Why do people want to become CEO in the first place?" That was one of the first questions I posed to Ty Wiggins during our interview for the Leadership 2.0 Podcast. After all, the statistics are sobering:The turnover of CEOs is at an all-time high: from 9.2 years in 2018 to 7.6 years in 202250% of all CEOs reported feelings of lonelinessThe average workweek of CEOs is more than 60 hours[^1]Burnout is a reality for 71% of CEOs[^2]Being a CEO comes with immense responsibility. CEOs are ultimately accountable for the company's entire trajectory, from strategic wins like M&As to major setbacks like corporate scandals. Every day, CEOs must make tough decisions on issues that can't be resolved at lower levels. More often than not, these choices are a matter of picking the 'least unattractive' option.The CEO’s decisions have a significant influence on the lives and financial well-being of all stakeholders. This broad group includes employees, investors (e.g., pension funds), consumers, suppliers, and government bodies.  In the 32nd episode of the Leadership 2.0 podcast, I interview Ty Wiggins about his book ‘The New CEO - Lessons from CEOs on How to Start Well and Perform Quickly (Minus the Common Mistakes)’.During our conversation, we discussed the following topics:The CEO and Executive Transition Practice of Russell Reynolds AssociatesThe Model on which the book 'The New CEO' is basedWhy do people want to become CEOs in the first place?Why CEOs are never 100% ready before they startThe big shift from Business Unit leader to CEOThe nature of decisions CEOs need to makeWhy a typical CEO transition lasts 12-18 monthsWhat a Transition Plan for a CEO role looks likeTaking over the CEO role in a 'Stealth mode'The right moment for new CEOs to start making big decisionsWhen and how CEOs should select their teamsHow to burst the 'CEO bubble'Should CEOs speak up on political issues?Final Thoughts► About Ty WigginsTy Wiggins is the CEO & Executive Transition Advisor at Russell Reynolds Associates. He advises leading companies on leadership transitions and executive onboarding to ensure a more expedient path to effectiveness.
