Michael Wager Vero Beach Florida Chief Marketing Officer
Leadership is clearly a big topic for the future of work, which is why a few weeks ago I interviewed Herminia Ibarra, author of Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader. Recently I had the privilege of speaking with Harry Kraemer, the former CEO of Baxter and now professor at Northwestern University’sKellogg School of Management, where he teachesmanagement and leadership. Many of you are of course familiar with Baxter, the large pharmaceutical company that today has just over 60,000 employees around the world. Harry just released a new book titled, Becoming the Best: Build a World-Class Organization Through Values-Based Leadership which I had the opportunity to read and speak with him about. It was interesting to compare and contract the leadership approaches of both Herminia and Harry.
In this episode of the future of work podcast, Harry and I chat about his experiences being the CEO of 60,000 person pharmaceutical company, how to scale leadership and the importance of corporate culture, employee engagement and Harry’s four principles of values-based leadership which include humbleness and humility. Harry also shares some interesting stories and anecdotes from his life and experience as CEO of such a large organization as Baxter. As with every episode of the podcast, we end with his advice for managers, employees and organizations around the world. This is a great podcast episode. I found Harry’s thoughts, views and perspectives quite interesting, and I think you will too. So tune in and listen to this fascinating discussion on values-based leadership!
