New Wavelength Podcast - the power of purpose - with Tim Munden, former CLO at Unilever
Wavelength
Wavelength is a UK-based leadership development business with a global reach, bringing the outside in for leaders.
In this Wavelength Making Waves podcast, we chat to Tim Munden , former Chief Learning Officer at Unilever.
Tim has over 20 years experience of developing effective leaders, teams and organisations, in a business and not for profit context. An award-winning CLO, Tim was responsible for developing the leadership capability at Unilever to enable ongoing business growth and transformation, and the realisation of Unilever’s purpose, including working with the most senior leadership teams in the business.
Tim launched Unilever’s own 'Discover Your Purpose' workshops, which has been completed by a staggering 56,000 Unilever employees. The workshops have deeply embedded purpose in the Unilever culture. Randomised control trials demonstrated that the workshops improved willingness to go the extra mile, work and life fulfilment, psychological safety and sense of control to prioritise competing demands.
Tim was also responsible for the development of Unilever’s approach to leadership in the 21st Century, and for employee wellbeing - areas in which the company is widely acknowledged as being truly leading-edge. Agreement by employees that Unilever cares about their wellbeing has risen by 2200 bps over the last 5 years. Tim has also actively campaigned for the elimination of stigma about mental ill-health.
Wavelength Chief Connector and podcaster Adrian Simpson commented: "It was a pleasure and a real honour to speak with Tim. His passion, energy, commitment and focus on the power of purpose, and how you can harness that for real business benefit is infectious. This is an episode I'll listen to regularly."
