S5E4: OKRs and Leadership Style - the 4 most common pitfalls - with Cristina Popa from consistency

In today’s podcast, we talk with Cristina Popa on the role of
leadership styles and how they facilitate or hinder
transformation programs in the enterprise space. We also touch on
the shifts that are needed in the current environment and in
order to perform large-scale enterprise transformation projects.
Finally, we  discuss the role of OKRs - as they are used in
these projects and how OKRs relate to the leadership styles.





Cristina joined the consultancy consistency.de in 2015 and was
the first female partner. During this intense period, she has
dedicated herself to business psychology and led digitization
projects in the energy transition. 


Currently, in addition to her role as partner at consistency.de,
she’s also the CEO at the tech startup Contractuo - which helps
companies streamline and automate their contract management
processes. 


With the prevailing tiredness of digitization, Germany is making
a mockery of the global economy. We should finally discard
sluggishness based on our ego, ignorance or fear! This is the
conclusion Cristina draws after 17 years of professional
experience in numerous companies. She has identified a pattern
that distinguishes successful companies from others. The most
important factor here is a differentiated view of human behavior.
For Cristina, psychology and digitization go hand in hand in
today‘s world. Companies need to recognize their own wasteful
behavior in order to use valuable energies and resources more
wisely.
