Designing organisational psychology with Prof. Frederik Anseel

In life and in business, how big a part does luck play in our success? And are our good ideas really good at all? Professor Frederik Anseel is the newly appointed Dean of the University of New South Wales’ Business School and an expert in what works, and what doesn’t, in business. He’s spent his career researching organisational psychology, leadership, how to motivate people, how to treat colleagues with respect and how to be authentic. It’s this combination of the study of management and psychology that changed from a very niche field to one of wide-spread interest during the COVID pandemic. Anseel grew up in a small town 15 minutes from the French border in Belgium, where education, even university, is free for all. One side of his family are engineers, the other teachers. It’s clear how his upbringing has defined his view of life, value of education, and area of academia.  Listen in as Vince and Frederik discuss; how the 2008 GFC shifted the narrative for the hero CEO paradigm, the art of getting office politics right and the surprising origins of the Type A personality. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
