Mindful Leadership Podcast with Shahana Banerjee : Episode 2
Great bosses help us thrive. Bad bosses are soul crushing. They have a enduring impact on us, especially early in our career. What does a great boss look like?
In this episode, we talk to one of the best bosses I’ve ever worked with, Joydeep Bose. He is the Managing Director and Global Head of Human Resources at Olam* – a relentless advocate of his people, a well loved leader, a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration to many.
Learn more about his story, and his journey to define who he wanted to be as a leader, how he leads with empowerment and trust first… even when the team hasn’t earned it yet, and his lifelong quest to “enable those around him”.
