Episode 7 of Better World Leaders, with Sherif Hassanein.

Sherif leads the Cold Chain Solutions division of Panasonic in Asia-Pacific. His tenure has involved rebuilding the leadership team, challenging and improving the existing culture to build a business set up for growth and sustainable success.

Whilst refrigeration may not be on the top of everyone’s list when it comes to making the world better, it is on the top of one very important list – the Drawdown action plan to remedy climate change.  Our conversation touches on the role that Panasonic’s products are playing in both reducing climate harming emissions and power consumption across the food storage supply chain with a range of innovative designs and solutions.

We also extensively explore Sherif’s views on leadership, particularly across there areas;

– The role of balance in sustaining successful leadership over the long-term, and that much of his success is down to identifying and maintaining a consistent approach to this over the past two decades.

– How to create a successful organisational culture founded around leading from the front in terms of behaviours that reflect the organisation’s values

– That to do this, the message linking strategy and behaviour must be clearly and repeatedly sent at every opportunity both within the business and in the market.

– That developing your people is your primary contribution as a leader

– That challenging and changing what you’re doing is a necessity to thrive as a leader and as an organisation.
