Guest: Dr Leandro Herrero: Chief Organisational Architect / Founder of The Chalfont Project, Author and International Speaker Even today, the focus on the exclusive power of leadership at the high ranks of the organisation prevails in the minds of employees, managers and leaders. We have collectively outsourced to them not just the responsibilities for visions and strategies but also role modelling, influence, authority and all sorts of powers. Middle management is just the middle man. The role of employees is to be engaged and have a voice. As caricatured as it may sound, the collective assumptions about workplaces are, consciously or not, well routed in this. But this emperor has no clothes. Dr. Leandro Herrero is the CEO of The Chalfont Project, a pioneering international firm of Organisational Architects specialising in large-scale behavioural and cultural transformation. Dr. Herrero, a psychiatrist by training and profession, is the founder of the ground-breaking methodology of Viral Change™. He has authored several influential books on mobilising change, including Viral Change™, Homo Imitans, and The Flipping Point. He bridges behavioural science with hands-on strategies to create lasting, real-world impact, his work has consistently shaped the landscape of leadership and organizational dynamics across sectors.
