730: Tony Hansen, part 1 : McKinsey’s Director of Natural Capital and Nature
Most of the partners I know at the top tier consulting firms have worked there since business school. Tony has a different background, as he describes at the beginning.
Because the Firm influences people at high levels of business and government, therefore potentially able to help change culture, I’m very interested in working with them. They are as prone to inertia as any other group, so I’m curious how much they can change others. After all, it’s hard to help someone stop a habit while you keep doing it.
I consider the Spodek Method the most effective way to help people who want to lead others lead others—a mindset shift followed by a continual improvement. It opens the door to systemic change, which begins with personal change.
If you don’t mind my spoiling what happens a bit, but I think I can safely say that Tony responded positively to the Spodek Method. Listen to hear how. I can’t wait for the second episode to hear his results.
