Adapting, Innovating and Learning from Failure, with Zhike Lei

Season 3 · Episode 3

Thursday, February 8, 2024 • Duration 21:44

When disaster strikes, or when goals are simply missed, blame often lands on the bosses. From CEOs to team leaders the buck has to stop somewhere, and when it does, action needs to be taken.

But how should leaders approach failure?

Zhike Lei says leaders in both civil society and corporations tend to try and tackle problems alone. But this is not the best approach.

Effective failure management comes from tapping into the collective intelligence of a wider team. When businesses fail, says Lei, senior staff members of an organization need to play a visible role in driving engagement with others.

In this episode of ManagementCast, Professor Lei talks about adapting, innovating, and learning from failure, and the central role of leadership.

Why does allyship matter? with Professor Robert Hooijberg

Season 2 · Episode 2

Thursday, June 15, 2023 • Duration 22:52

In 1992, Professor Robert Hooijberg caught a glimpse of what it means to be anything other than a white heterosexual male in the workplace. Since then, he has taught diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) programs across the globe.

Hooijberg, too, has a special insight into the importance of allyship. He does not identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, but his son does. As a transgender man, he has encountered incredible biases and even violence in the workplace.

Professor Hooijberg says it’s our collective responsibility to combat such hatred. He passionately believes that the workplace needs to be a safe space regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity. He is interested in creating an environment where everybody can flourish and thinks commercial enterprises need to be invested in that goal.

In this in-depth interview, Professor Hooijberg talks about the importance of allyship, how to support family, friends, and colleagues in the face of adversity, and the pride he feels for his son.

********

Robert Hooijberg is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at IMD. His areas of interest include leadership, negotiations, team building, digital transformation, and organizational culture, with a specific focus on the alignment of culture and strategy. He helps organizations create powerful performance-oriented cultures aligned with strategy and has developed an innovative approach to the study of cases on the topic.

Alexander Fleischmann on the evolution of LGBTQ+ research

Season 2 · Episode 1

Thursday, June 1, 2023 • Duration 18:58

ManagementCast is back for its second season, and to kick off the series IMD is proud to present the first of several special episodes to celebrate Pride Month.

The first is with Alexander Fleischmann, a research affiliate at IMD who has been writing about LGBTQ+ issues for more than 15 years. In that time, he has witnessed radical changes in how LGBTQ+ individuals are treated in the workplace and in the research he has engaged with throughout his career.

In this in-depth interview, Fleischmann says business culture can be measured in how it deals with marginalized positions and that the biggest task of the upcoming years is how to cater to underrepresented groups. "It's not about making minority politics," he argues. “It’s about asking how we can evolve our overall culture. How can we make it inclusive for everyone by looking at how formerly marginalized groups are treated?"

Fleischmann believes it's crucial to make clear that this culture of inclusivity benefits everyone. In his first appearance on the show, he discusses what drew him to LGBTQ+ and inclusivity research, what's changed in the last two decades, and what still needs to change in the workplaces of tomorrow.

*****

Alexander Fleischmann received his PhD at the Institute for Gender and Diversity and Organization from the Vienna University of Economics and Business. He is now a research affiliate at IMD.

The future of mega dive, with professor Cyril Bouquet

Season 1 · Episode 20

Thursday, January 5, 2023 • Duration 16:49

Whether in the boardroom or the classroom, business strategies will continue to emerge and evolve. As long as there are commercial opportunities to chase, there will be an incentive to improve.

Some ideas, though, aren't limited to commercial applications; and IMD Professor Cyril Bouquet says his mega dive approach is one of them. In the words of the award-winning researcher, improvements in technology will only lead to greater returns on training:

"Creating the future requires diversity of thought, and the capacity to combine views to create something new and interesting to tackle complex problems in their lives," says Bouquet, "you can not only use technology, and use AI to recognize problems, but also to find solutions."

Over three interviews, IMD Professor Cyril Bouquet has explained how his mega-dive approach can generate conversations between disparate teams. In Episode 20 of ManagementCast, he discusses how the mega-dive approach itself will change, and the importance of investing in the future.

Cyril Bouquet is a researcher, consultant, and teacher at the IMD campus in Lausanne. He supports organizations on significant transition journeys as they seek to create change and deliver progress for society, and most recently, he has deployed his mega dive method in his work with 700 top executives at the shipping firm Maersk, helping the company to adapt quickly to changing environments and shifting customer demands.

Why training matters, with professor Cyril Bouquet

Season 1 · Episode 19

Thursday, December 22, 2022 • Duration 12:48

Training is central to long-term business success. But how can companies justify investing in the future when the present is so costly?

The answer, says IMD Professor Cyril Bouquet, lies in the data: "All the empirical evidence suggests that companies that do invest in training and executive development, that invest in innovation, in general, come out of a crisis much stronger than those who just worry about the immediate situation."

"You should ask yourself, how can I help my people to unlock the keys to the future"

As a Professor of Strategy and Innovation at IMD, Bouquet has helped global brands such as L'Oréal and Nestlé, and organizations like the International Olympic Committee achieve their goals. In Episode 19 of Managementcast, he discusses the importance of looking to the future, even in times of financial hardship

How to mega dive, with professor Cyril Bouquet

Season 1 · Episode 18

Thursday, November 24, 2022 • Duration 15:56

In his first appearance on ManagementCast, IMD Professor Cyril Bouquet described his mega dive approach; and the reasons why this is one the best ways to open up an inter-departmental collaboration within large organizations.

But what do businesses actually need to launch a "mega dive" themselves?

Bouquet says that "there are a few key factors that need to be in place," but advises that "the first one is the commitment of the top management team". Without executive buy-in, the process won't work. With it, he says, ownership and belief in the system will follow.

The mega dive, with professor Cyril Bouquet

Season 1 · Episode 17

Thursday, November 10, 2022 • Duration 14:14

At IMD, Professor Cyril Bouquet has pioneered the 'mega dive,' a management approach that brings together large groups of people as one united force. A force capable of embracing the future together.

But what does that mean in practice?

Bouquet says that 'mega dive' isn't just an event, it's a six-month journey that spans digital and in-person conversations. It can involve hundreds of people, in dozens of teams, and it always generates conversation between those who normally wouldn't have the opportunity to debate their views. In Episode 17 of ManagementCast, Bouquet discusses this method, and how he's helped clients from across the globe prepare for success.

The future of power, with professor Jennifer Jordan

Season 1 · Episode 16

Thursday, October 27, 2022 • Duration 13:06

Fifteen years ago, the concept of a social media influencer was in its infancy, but today these communicators shape global conversations on everything from retail to politics. Is that what evolution looks like?

IMD professor Jennifer Jordan says "no". In her words, evolution implies a positive change, and power doesn't evolve, it transforms. To stay ahead of the curve, executives need to keep an eye on power trends and work on their own approach through feedback assessments and coaching.

In Episode 16 of ManagementCast, Jordan discusses the future of influence and what to expect from the next generation of power brokers.

Jennifer Jordan is a social psychologist and a digital transformation expert. Her work has appeared in numerous scientific journals, and in 2019 she was named by Poets&Quants as one of the world’s leading business school professors under 40. Jordan’s research focuses on ethics and influence, and she has delivered custom programs and consultancy services for a wide range of companies, including Barilla, KONE, and Shell.

The problem with power, professor Jennifer Jordan

Season 1 · Episode 15

Thursday, October 13, 2022 • Duration 13:31

The proverbial saying, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” suggests that as a person’s influence increases, their moral sense diminishes. But how does that square with today’s business world?

IMD Professor Jennifer Jordan says it’s more complex than that. Power is the engine that drives decision-making, but it also acts as a magnifying glass, exacerbating positive or negative tendencies that are already there.

Power can also be transformative – which, says Jordan, is something to look out for. In Episode 15 of ManagementCast, she describes the problems and pitfalls of power, and how the modern executive can avoid them.
