Listen "Leadership Without a Map: Embracing Uncertainty With Claus Richter, Visa"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Pantrium Podcast, Christie Kristensen sat down with Claus Richter (Visa, ex-Nordea, P27) for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like pulling back the curtain on the reality of leadership.Claus shares the unvarnished truths of his career journey: moving across countries, walking away from toxic workplaces, and discovering that sometimes the best opportunities appear when you least expect them. He talks about the importance of broad experience, why having a career plan can accelerate growth, and how a single night of connection turned a struggling team into a united one.What makes this conversation worth your time? It’s not the résumé highlights — it’s the honesty. Claus reminds us that leadership isn’t about certainty or perfection. It’s about building trust, embracing change, and having the courage to keep moving even when the path is unclear.00:00 Introduction and Key Takeaways00:25 Welcome to the Patrium Podcast00:54 Guest Introduction: Claus' Fun Fact02:12 Claus' Multinational Experience03:56 Early Career Challenges and Learnings07:37 Navigating Toxic Work Environments09:14 Developing a Career Plan19:01 Leadership Challenges and Team Building30:22 Adapting to Generational Shifts in the Workplace37:23 Future of Leadership and Social Responsibility39:51 Final Thoughts and FarewellMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/night-drift/the-...License code: DCXZVUNGAWM48HT0
