Leaders Review Press Release
Paul Herrod, head of KPMG New Zealand, has
been revealed as the third leader to take part in this year’s Leaders Review
Key Moments. The ongoing leadership series of
daily TVCs airs on TVOne’s early Breakfast, and aims to
encourage ‘a bit of focus, a bit of go-forward’ continuity as contributed by
industry seniors. The series is co-supported by a collective of associated industry brands.
“For one of the more perceived conservative
professions, I was heartened to observe Paul and KPMG stepping forward to
participate and contribute to the collective as our accounting and advisory
entrant,” said series organizer and producer, Peter Anich.
“Observing industry invitees going through
their different decision processes was illuminating...You can see how
leadership and culture all respond differently to something outside the box,
which this series certainly presents itself as,” explained the producer.
“With this year’s theme being
intrapreneurialism, or entrepreneurial behaviour within larger organizations,
the irony of keen CEOs within the profession not being
able to respond accordingly represents the exercise’s central irony.”
“When boldness is required there are many
systemic and business-cultural hand-brakes for leadership within the wider
organization. What I saw in Paul’s immediate response was the ability of his
lieutenants to quickly ‘read the project’s vibe’ and soon after followed a
decision delivered by the CEO himself.”
“As then unaware of my own initial
observations, Paul said he wished to concentrate his first TV Leaders Review
vignette around a lesson an early-industry icon had taught him: that of
developing lieutenants to allow a leader’s own ideas and leadership, to fly.”
“Was a definitely a case of no surprises
there.”
