An Autopsy on leadership Dr Bill Price and Yoke van Dam

Are you wondering: What’s next for me, my leadership, my team or my organisation? Today’s guest Dr Bill Price, asks: Who must our leaders become for the organisation to become what it is capable of becoming? Instead of asking: What leadership model should we use, rather say: What is happening within the leader who is using the model. Leadership isn’t just about applying the right model — it’s about who you become while leading. In this conversation, Yoke van Dam welcomes Dr. Bill Price to explore leadership from the inside out. They unpack the role of self-awareness, identity, accountability, team culture, and the habits that turn leadership principles into real results.Dr. Bill shares his perspective on why leaders must move beyond ego and personality-driven behaviour, how people grow from followers into leaders, and what it takes to transform siloed teams into connected, high-performing organisations.

For more than 25 years, Dr Bill has worked internationally as a strategist, executive coach, facilitator, researcher and influential professional speaker, contributing to leadership development, strategic alignment and organisational transformation across 48 countries, including extensive work throughout Anglo Africa. Instead of concentrating only on transferring additional skills and information, Dr Bill facilitates processes through which leaders begin examining: • how they think; • what they consciously notice; • the internal stories influencing their decisions; • how they respond under pressure; • the mindsets and patterns shaping behaviour; • and ultimately, who they are becoming as leaders. His work therefore moves beyond the traditional emphasis on personality profiling and externally observed behaviour towards understanding and intentionally developing the mind-brain processes beneath behaviour.
