Spoiler alert: the answer is yes, at least at the world's largest mining company. This is Leadership Playbook, a London Business School podcast exploring the latest thinking and key issues for leaders and those aspiring to lead. In this episode, Randall Peterson, Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Academic Director of the Leadership Institute at London Business School, talks with Andrew Mackenzie, former chief executive of BHP. Reflecting back on his experience at the helm of the mining giant, Andrew shares what surprised him the most: realising how much the company’s business results were driven, during his tenure, by improving diversity within his leadership team and across the whole organisation.
