We had the pleasure of speaking with Rita McGrath, Best Selling Author and Strategy Professor at Columbia Business School at the HRD Summit UK. In this interview, she talks about the restructuring of leaders and the importance of shaping direction instead of simply telling their workforce what to do. She also discusses going beyond hierarchy in organisations.
