Tom Van Dyck, Senior Partner at TPC Leadership, and Laurent Jacquet, Partner at TPC Leadership Belgium. “Ask what is it that I believe in... because if we don't, we feel lost, we don't feel authentic, relationships are not strong enough...” Having recently published his book “New Leaders” Laurent delves into his personal mission to create better leaders. From the hockey pitches of international competition, Laurent traces the influences and reflections that have led him to develop a clear philosophy and approach to help new leaders immediately step up and add value to their teams. Their discussion focuses on the need to understand oneself, to question one’s own beliefs and opinions in order to be authentic in one’s interactions, motivations and relations, and how this is just as true for old hands as it is for new, junior leaders.
