Hello and welcome, to a brand new episode and yet another purposeful conversation of Attitude Makeover! I’m joined by Pradeep Menon, CEO and MD of HSBC Technology, and we hit the nail on the head on all things leadership in today’s day and age.From styles and salient features of leadership to associated pitfalls and resilience - Pradeep helps us deconstruct the skill set of a contemporary leader with a focus on creating an enabling ecosystem and one who is less about the person/persona and more about the impact on collaborative team(s).We touch upon all the classics of the CEO mindset driven by validation in parts and a sense of purpose overall. “Expect the best, prepare for the worst'' - Pradeep says about the role of a leader that is metamorphosing increasingly in our digital world. We also find out more about his journey, the “north star”, unlearning, empathy, ability to adapt to the unknown, changes & conflict and a whole lot of personal growth takeaways for individuals across fields.It is not so much about what you are chasing but more about the mental makeup that takes you there - Pradeep puts leadership in perspective in relation to individual Attitude Makeover in this.
