South China Morning Post – Putting Leadership First

Seeking, promoting and writing about great leaders have been the focus of Claudio Fernández-Aráoz’s career for almost 30 years. The senior adviser to Egon Zehnder International Egon Zehnder and bestselling author has devoted his professional life to helping organisations choose senior executives who inspire others. For Fernández-Aráoz, the key is identifying individuals who have motivation and the “paradoxical blend” of fierce commitment and humility. High potentials also demonstrate strategic orientation, outstanding influencing skills, the ambition to achieve results and, most importantly, the ability to surround themselves with the best. “In today’s complex world, you need a great team. Everything will depend on the people you have chosen,” notes Fernández-Aráoz.
