Ep13: Strength through lessons learned with Mike Nossal, Non-Executive Chairman of IGO
In this episode, Mike talks about IGO’s strategic pivot some years ago towards the discovery, production and processing of battery minerals. This transformation enabled the company to be a key supplier of products critical for the green energy transition. However, recent volatility in market demand and commodity pricing has presented challenges for IGO’s leadership and stakeholders. Mike talks about the importance of purpose, values and culture as foundations for building a resilient employer value proposition. And he points out that value can only flow from a diversity of thinking and opinion, if people first feel a sense of safety and belonging within their group. This is a candid and though provoking conversation.

"People are the key enabler of business performance and they won't give you their hearts and minds, unless they believe you genuinely care about them".
