Leaders Series: Barry O'Connell (Chairman of GOAL)

IMI Talking Leadership

In the third episode of our Leaders Series podcast, where we speak to leaders about their experiences, challenges and aspirations, we are joined by Barry O’Connell. Barry has been the Chairman of GOAL since July 2021 and prior to that he worked for Coca Cola for over 20 years across a multitude of markets around the world, driving growth and transformation. As we emerge from the pandemic, the requirements of leaders are evolving, with a noticeable shift towards wellbeing and balance as leaders hold up a mirror to themselves and reassess their priorities. In this episode, we talk about how Barry's personal leadership style has evolved and how expectations on leaders have radically changed.
