Staying the course when everything shifts
What makes leadership successful in uncertain times? In a series of interviews, Odgers shares inspiring insights and leadership lessons from the practice of senior executives. We begin with Sven Sauvé. He runs one of the most turbulent media companies in the Netherlands. Reorganisations, a derailed television programme, and both a failed and a successful merger followed one another in rapid succession. That period was further overshadowed by the violent murder of a colleague. An event that had a profound impact and left deep marks within the organisation and among the people who worked there. Against that backdrop, it is all the more remarkable that the company underwent significant growth during those same years, rising from 60 to 160 million euros in EBITA. Sven Sauvé, CEO of RTL Netherlands and now responsible for the combined broadcasting and streaming activities of DPG Media in the Netherlands and Belgium, is not someone who shies away from uncertainty. He has built a philosophy around it.

Because being future-proof is one thing, but how do you lead when the future itself is uncertain?
Business & Professional Services
Gen Z holds up a mirror
Gen Z is holding up a mirror to the professional services sector. Not as a provocation, as a fact. Young professionals define success differently, choose different career paths, and ask questions that many organisations would rather avoid. The question is not whether this is a passing trend. The question is whether leaders are willing to look.
