The Proteus Leader Show, hosted by 3 senior leaders at Proteus International (Laird McLean, Erika Andersen, Marie Holive), offers quick, practical support for you as a manager and leader – insights and tools you can use to improve right now.
Marie Holive sits down with Karim Chaiblaine, CEO of Nesma Mobility in Saudi Arabia, to explore what true transformation requires from leaders in uncertain environments. Through the conversation, listeners will hear practical insights on making tough strategic choices, knowing when to build versus partner, scaling with intention, and staying flexible without losing clarity of purpose. Karim also draws on Professor David Teece's dynamic capabilities framework (UC Berkeley) and Professor Charles O'Reilly's Ambidextrous Organization framework (Stanford), to explore how successful organizations navigate change. It’s a thoughtful discussion on how leaders can navigate complexity, drive meaningful change, and make the kinds of decisions that create lasting impact.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction to the podcast[02:45] When operating at scale how do you stay agile without creating chaos?[05:43] Common mistakes when launching or scaling new business ideas[10:18] How to pick the right business partner[12:13] When to partner versus when to build internally in your organization[15:41] How to know when to stop a business transformation[18:34] Practical tips leaders can implement today during transformation (especially large in organizations)
