Negotiate and set goals, be creative and innovative, make the right decisions and position yourself in a business work which heavily relies on networking. You must deliver all this at the best quality with efficient and effective processes during projects which must be on time, on track, on target but under budget. Moreover, of course, you must recruit, develop and retain the best talents of your industry. Your employer's brand and business storytelling become a significant part of your work today. At the same time, hard skills as forecasting, planning, conceptualisation are part of you as a leader mastering Strategy. Of course, selling the products has to work as well in challenging and competitive environments.

  • #444 Leading Beyond Labels – Rethinking Leadership, Identity, and Organisational Culture | Niels Brabandt with Merry Carole Powers
    Oct 15 2025

    Modern leadership is drowning in labels — titles, job descriptions, and identity categories that once helped structure organisations but now often divide them.

    In this episode, Niels Brabandt, Founder and Owner of NB Networks (Zurich | London), speaks with Merry Carole Powers, leadership strategist and author of The Great Human Rebrand, about what it means to lead beyond labels. Together, they explore how leaders can move from categorisation to connection, from representation to recognition, and from management by title to leadership by substance.

    Key insights include:

    • Why DEI labels matter — and how to evolve beyond “tick-the-box diversity.”

    • How inflated job titles and status symbols erode authentic leadership.

    • Why departmental labels (HR, Sales, Marketing) create silos — and how to bridge them.

    • How to reframe progress: from climbing ladders to cultivating growth.

    • Why authenticity and individuality are the true competitive advantages in leadership.

    Drawing on real-world corporate experience and global case studies, Brabandt and Powers deliver a candid discussion on how to dismantle the structural and psychological barriers that prevent inclusive, human-centred leadership.

    This episode is for executives, HR directors, and decision-makers seeking practical strategies to build organisations where culture, collaboration, and leadership thrive.

  • #443 The Truth About Annual Appraisal Interviews: How Great Leaders Turn Routine Reviews into Real Results - with Niels Brabandt
    Oct 8 2025

    Annual appraisal interviews are one of the most misunderstood leadership tools in modern business. For some employees, they are a source of motivation and recognition. For others, they are nothing but an annual formality — arbitrary, subjective, and often frustrating.

    In this episode of The Leadership Podcast with Niels Brabandt, you will learn what separates meaningful appraisal interviews from ineffective bureaucratic rituals. Leadership expert Niels Brabandt explains why the traditional once-a-year review often fails, how the burden of proof always lies with the leader, and how a well-structured, evidence-based, and dialogue-driven approach can transform your organisation’s culture.

    Key takeaways include:

    • Why annual reviews are outdated — and what works better

    • How to move from monologue to genuine dialogue

    • The role of preparation, feedback, and GDPR compliance in modern leadership

    • How to lead with transparency, reasoning, and fairness

    • Why training and coaching are essential for credible leadership

    This episode is a must-listen for business decision makers, executives, and HR professionals who want to improve their leadership effectiveness and organisational results.
