#581 The Importance of Taking a Stand in Leadership | Niels Brabandt on Management, Leadership and Values

Why do so many executives say values matter, only to abandon them the moment things get economically uncomfortable? In this episode of The Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt EMBA MBA MSc draws a sharp line between management and leadership, explains why real leadership only reveals itself under pressure using the cautionary example of Deutsche Bahn's Black Zero, and argues why staying silent on free, equal and human rights for commercial reasons is not neutrality but cowardice. Drawing on a personal experience at Zukunft Personal in Cologne, this episode makes the business case for why organisations that hold their values under pressure consistently outperform those that abandon them.
