Already the third Caring Company’s Fireside Chat.
We had the pleasure of speaking with another exceptional leader, Anders Bouvin.
The former CEO of Handelsbanken, the great retail bank featured in our book, reflects on the major steps of his career and explains the humanistic philosophy of the bank he led.
In this episode, he addresses a variety of interesting topics, such as:
- How to acquire a new company while fully respecting its culture and identity
- How to build a strong network of over 200 branches without a business plan or time pressure
- What really builds customer loyalty
- What is the role of a leader in a caring company
Enjoy the conversation!
