The Power of the Pause: How to Reset, Refocus, and Lead Better with Michael Fraccaro

How can the power of the pause make you an even more effective HR leader?

Why do HR leaders need to have a point of view and the courage to share it?

My guest on this episode is Michael Fraccaro, Former CPO at Mastercard, Senior Advisor at Egon Zehnder

During our conversation Michael and I discuss the following:  

  • Why your credibility as a CHRO is built on your understanding of the business, not HR
  • How the power of the pause transforms decision quality
  • Why culture is a leadership behavior, not a program
  • How courage, not technical knowledge is the real differentiator for HR leaders who want to move from good to great
  • Why the CHRO pipeline challenge is less about technical skills and more about mindset, grit, and learning agility
