In this episode of Find Your People, Bruce sits down with David Hammond who draws on more than a decade in Chief Executive roles and his work advising boards and recruiting senior leaders across New Zealand, about why traditional interviews can miss some of the most important qualities in a leader. Together, Bruce and David unpack vulnerability in leadership, what boards should really be measuring, lessons from iwi leadership and long-term thinking, and why the best leaders can clearly articulate what they stand for, the culture they want to build, and how their values actually show up in practice.
The Find Your People Podcast explores the future of work, leadership, and where the human fits in a changing world. Whether you’re building a team, growing your career, or searching for more meaningful work, each episode shares practical insights from people shaping the future of New Zealand.
A big thank you to David Hammond for taking the time to share his insights in the senior leadership space in New Zealand, and how we need to review how we recruit our next generation of leaders.
