Have the right team. Over the last few years, my leadership style has undergone a transformation. I listen a lot more than I used to. I trust people a lot more as well. Back when I was young, that didn’t seem so important. I believe now more than ever in the importance of subject matter experts: if an area is your expertise, then I’m going to value your opinions on it, rather than think I know better.
As part of my series about “individuals and organizations making an important social impact”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Hakan Bulgurlu.
Hakan Bulgurlu is the CEO of Arçelik, a global home appliances company. A YPO member and a 2021 YPO Global Impact Award honoree, Bulgurlu is a leading voice for sustainability in the industry. As an environmentalist, Bulgurlu climbed Everest in 2019 in a bid to raise awareness on climate change.
Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
