Episode Description
In this episode, Shelley sits down with Hannes van Rensburg to explore the transformative power of care in leadership. Alongside his partner Siew-Fang, Hannes co-authored The Power of Care and co-founded the leadership consultancy Bento Box of Care, which champions the importance ofleading with compassion and purpose.
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in 2008 while drafting afive-year plan and overseeing workplace health and safety, Hannes began to understand the deep connection between organisational culture and genuine care. This sparked a journey toward what he now calls a Culture of Care.
Together, Shelley and Hannes dive into the Bento Box model and discuss how care—often sidelined in high-pressure leadership roles—can be the key to inspiring meaningful change, maintaining personal wellbeing, and reshaping the boundaries between leaders and their teams.
