About this listen

 Ysni Semsedini didn't wait for opportunities; he planned his ascent. The CEO of London Hydro joins Greg Schinkel to share his powerful journey from an electrical engineering student to a top executive, outlining the deliberate steps he took to chart his career path and the essential shift every technical expert must make to become a true leader. Ysni breaks down how he transformed London Hydro's culture from a "low-cost operator" to a "value creator," why a leader's job is to relentlessly remove ambiguity, and how to conquer organizational silos using his "Leads and Ladders" framework. Whether you're looking to make the leap into management or lead a company through a period of rapid change, Ysni's insights on intentional growth, trusting your gut, and putting people first are invaluable. 0:00 | Introduction 3:50 | First Taste of Accountability 11:58 | The Shift from Expert to Leader 18:10 | Navigating Organizational Change & the Value Creator Mindset 21:05 | Combating Silos with the "Leads & Ladders" Framework 23:45 | Relentless Communication 27:00 | Trusting Your Gut and Finding Your "Unique Ability" 30:15 | Your Career is a Tapestry of Experience Guest: Ysni Semsedini LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ysni-semsedini-4628b076/ Host: Greg Schinkel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregschinkel/ Connect with us: Website: https://uniquedevelopment.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unique-training-&-development-inc-/ Email: hello@uniquedevelopment.com
