CEO Today Global Awards 2023 - UNITED KINGDOM - - 42 - Henry Baye CEO Standard Chartered Bank, Jersey What do you think makes a strong CEO or senior leader? How would you describe your leadership style? You must be HIPI: • Heart – Be true to yourself, authentic, humble and have a heart full of love for your people, seeking their growth with passion. • Inspire – Be visible and inspirational in guiding the teams towards success. Learn to tell the stories that have an impact and celebrate great work unashamedly. • Paint – You must be a good painter. Paint a compelling picture of what you all can aspire to together and do not be afraid to aspire to it. Nobody gets arrested for aspiring. It is when you do nothing that there is a problem. • Invisible – Give back all the credit to your teams when you achieve success. You actually become more visible that way. If you were able to go back in time 10 years, what would you tell yourself about leadership that you did not know then? I think finding true purpose in your work is the most satisfying way to work and achieve. You must not be afraid to be authentic. Humility and respect are actually very powerful in leadership and playing “office politics” is not the most important tool to take you up the ladder. I also believe hard work is not an old-fashioned concept; it is the foundation for climbing the ladder. Additionally, I would tell myself to value every relationship along the journey and build it deeply and positively, not only as a network but as a valued possession. And never stop learning! Every new challenge carries with it an opportunity to learn. What would you consider to be your biggest achievement as a corporate leader? By far it is the many people, the many talents, who I have invested in over the years and opened doors For more information about Standard Chartered please visit: www.sc.com/je
