About this listen

In this powerful episode of The Leadership Enigma, I am joined by Iris Loew-Friedrich, former Chief Medical Officer at UCB and current global board advisor, for a deeply human and honest conversation about leadership in an uncertain, fast-moving world. Iris flew to London specially for this conversation — and it shows. Her insights are raw, real, and full of wisdom earned across decades of experience in global healthcare. From her early days growing up in post-war Germany to leading at the highest levels of the pharmaceutical world, Iris shares how human-centred leadership is not just nice to have — it’s essential. With humility, empathy, and purpose, she shows how putting people and patients first can be the most powerful business strategy of all. 🧠 Topics Covered: Leading through uncertainty & imperfection Building psychological safety and trust in teams Making ethical decisions in pharma Staying curious and becoming an enterprise leader The power of feedback and self-awareness Life after the C-suite — finding meaning in the next chapter 🔑 Key Takeaway: True leadership is not about perfection — it's about presence, people, and purpose. 💬 What resonated with you most?
