G’day, it’s AJ and welcome to the 10 Degree Shift, a show all about  how people have made small shifts in their life and leadership that have  had a big impact. Today my special guest is an amazing leader from the Manufacturing  industry, the managing director of 100 year old firm Bekaert Stephen  Hennessey. In this episode we explore how the balance of a leader  showing competency and care can lead to higher staff retention and  engagement, a better life work balance and ultimately a sustainable  happy business and life. Stephen shares many stories from his career from an electrical  tradesman to his work now as an MD and how he has invested in being a  natural servant leader along the way. From how he callibrates the  culture to how he ensures there are high performing relationships across  the business and how he achieved unity of their blue and white collar  workers, there is gold in this interview from start to finish. In Stephen's words - if you want to lead well don't be afraid to ask  for help and make sure you are practicing self reflection along the way.
