Transformation Leadership with Allison Rossiter
In episode 1 of Transformation Leadership2050, Andrew White and co-host Adam Canwell of the EY organisation talk to Allison Rossiter, the managing director of Roche Diagnostics in Australia.
'1950s leadership doesn’t work any more.'
For this special deep dive into transformation leadership Andrew has teamed up with research partner Adam Canwell from the EY organisation to explore the journey six global leaders and their workforce went through as they successfully led their organisations through significant change.
We start the series with Allison Rossiter, who has led Roche Diagnostics Australia through a radical programme of company culture change. Here she shares her experience and advice on how to lead a workforce through the emotional journey of transformation.
Over the past year, Andrew and Adam’s research team has surveyed 935 senior leaders and direct reports, as well as 1,127 workforce members from around the globe and across multiple industries. Their Transformation Leadership: Humans@Centre research tells us that the success or failure of business transformation is rooted in human emotions and therefore putting humans at the centre can improve your odds of success by more than two and a half times.
Andrew's research and teaching focuses on how leaders transcend 21st century challenges such as disruptive technology change and the climate crisis. Also, how they create cultures that are diverse, inclusive, resilient and high performing, alongside the ongoing challenge of delivering profitable growth. At Oxford he directs the Oxford Advanced Management and Leadership Programme, and works with leaders from industry and governments across the world.
