What does it take to truly lead a transformation? The Mindsets and Moves of Game-Changing Leaders

This time, we’re joined by Burak Koyuncu, Head of Leadership Development at LHH, and a globally recognised thought leader whose work has featured in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Business Week, Financial Times, The Economist, and The Wall Street Journal.

🎙️ The Mindsets and Moves of Game-Changing Leaders

In this episode, Burak dives deep into what separates the average from the exceptional in today’s leadership landscape. With a blend of academic rigour and real-world insight, he helps us explore what it truly takes to lead with impact in a world defined by constant change.

We explore:

• Transactional vs transformational leadership—what’s the difference, and which matters most today?
• The DNA of a transformational leader—can anyone develop it, and how?
• Must-have mindsets and skillsets for leaders who want to shape the future
• Behaviour change in leadership development—how do we move from learning to lasting impact?
• The link between team development and transformational leadership
• Three practical tips for L&D and HR teams building tomorrow’s leadership programmes

This one’s packed with insight, challenge, and inspiration for anyone serious about building leadership that lasts.

And as always, your hosts Paul Hewett and Oz Hussein bring their signature blend of insight, warmth, and wit to every moment.
