Tune In Now
When a business needs to change, leadership can move through new ideas and decisions faster than the people responsible for implementing them.
Behrad Bayanpour shares what he learned while integrating business functions at Powerpay, introducing new ways of working, and recognizing when his own involvement was becoming a bottleneck.
The conversation examines how leaders can balance progress with organizational learning, develop independent decision-making, and adapt their leadership approach to the people they serve.
