Ever wondered what really makes a great leader stand out? Candido Bracher, the CEO of Itaú Unibanco, says that it is something surprisingly simple yet overlooked: listening more than talking. Despite running a huge company with over 100,000 employees, he swears by the power of listening. We usually picture leaders as the ones doing all the talking, setting directions, and calling the shots. While it’s true that authority is best demonstrated through constant talking, Candido points out that truly effective leaders spend more time listening than speaking. This doesn’t mean nodding along to what people say, but really understanding them and engaging deeply, making them feel genuinely heard.

Recently, we at Egon Zehnder Brazil had the pleasure to hold a breakfast with agribusiness leaders in São Paulo, providing a great discussion on the future of agribusiness. Some of the main topics discussed include: 🔹Leaders and their teams need to continue to getting closer to the field (farmers and producers) to help them understand the impact of different technologies, processes, and products at the end of the chain. 🔹Developing leaders with greater autonomy and decision-making capacity will be a key to the transformation, growth, and maturity of organizations. 🔹Enhancing the levels of productivity will be key: companies will need to scale good operating and management practices to make a better use of resources (land and water) and technology (bio, digital, mechanization). 🔹The waves of growth in agribusiness (records of production and GDP growth) generate a positive momentum that must to be followed by a more strategic allocation of capital to support moments of economic instability (especially in the south hemisphere). 🔹The solid development of the sector in the last 10-15 years paved the road to a green economy (e.g., biofuel, crop-farm and livestock integration) that will play a key role at the growth and the future of agribusiness. I would like to thank my dear colleagues Bruno Carrasco Prado Alves Ezequiel Silva Maitee Camargo Victoria Zaiden Vinicius Francisco for the great cooperation in the Agrofood practice. ➡️ What topics resonated the most? Let us know how we can help you.

The #LatamRetailShow24 is wrapping up, and it was a fantastic event where innovation and AI were front and center in discussions about customer centricity. Today’s agenda was especially insightful, with great talks from André Ferreira (PetFuture), Aurelio Gruntoski (C&A Brasil), @Paulo Nassar (Cobasi), and Renato Camargo (Farmácias Pague Menos). Retailers are now using AI not just to sell, but to convert shoppers into loyal customers by offering the right products at the right price with promotions that truly resonate. Add a seamless shopping experience, reduced out-of-stocks, and convenient services, and you create a consumer journey that drives long-term loyalty. At Impact Analytics, we’re excited to be part of this transformation, helping retailers optimize every aspect of the customer experience through data-driven insights. Thank you to everyone I had the chance to connect with during the event—looking forward to continuing our conversations! #LatamRetailShow #CustomerCentricity #AIinRetail #RetailInnovation #ImpactAnalytics #LatamRetailShow24

I'm proud to see Brazilian schools in the Financial Times 2024 global ranking of the best executive education courses, with a highlight on Fundação Dom Cabral (FDC), which occupies the 5th position. The São Paulo School of Business Administration of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV Eaesp) and Insper are the other two Brazilian institutions on the list. In the ranking of "in company" courses, FDC also stands out, occupying the 10th position. Insper appears in the 55th position and FGV in the 81st. The ranking is based on various criteria, including the interaction between client and school, course flexibility, teaching methods, teaching quality, relevance of skills acquired for the workplace, diversity in faculty nationality and gender, and the percentage of female participants. These rankings reflect the excellence and recognition of Brazilian institutions in the global executive education scenario, demonstrating the continuous effort of these schools to offer high-quality programs that meet market needs and develop competent leadership. #ExecutiveEducation #BusinessExcellence #GlobalRanking #LeadershipDevelopment #TopSchools #FinancialTimes #BrazilianInstitutions #CorporateTraining #InCompanyCours Paulo Vicente Alves

Then and now:  Welcome to Servant Leadership I'll never forget some of the earlier parts of my career at PepsiCo in Brazil when one of my bosses, a Portuguese guy with a fiery temper, once told me:  "I need you to just shut and execute Mork!" I was like wow...ouch.  In all fairness, I was a brash young know-it-all marketing brand manager and in the end I learned a ton from him and we accomplished a lot together.  Obrigado Carlos Barreiros Back then that was often how business was done: "Don’t think, just execute!”  Leaders barked orders, expected results, and care little about the well-being or opinions of their employees.   In many parts of the world today, that attitude still prevails. Problem is: it no longer works. Times have changed, and in the age of #AI, this paradigm is shifting rapidly. Today, effective leadership is about serving all stakeholders of the company, especially employees. A servant leader focuses on creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. They care about the growth and development of their employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. This type of leader: 1.  Actively listens to the needs and ideas of all stakeholders. 2.  Fosters collaboration and teamwork. 3.  Empowers people to make decisions and take responsibility. 4.  Celebrates successes and learns from failures. 5.  Creates an environment of psychological safety where people can volunteer ideas, raise concerns, and challenge others without fear of reprisal. Why does this matter? Companies led by servant leaders enjoy numerous benefits: 1.  Higher employee engagement and productivity 2.  Better talent retention 3.  Greater customer satisfaction 4.  Faster innovation 5.  Greater profitability Let's zoom in on the first benefit for example.  Here's a stat that's a real shocker which I love to share in my #keynotes. According to Gallup, we're facing an epidemic of disengagement at work. A study they shared in January revealed that nearly 60% of employees are quietly quitting while another 15% are actively disengaged and openly manifesting their unhappiness. So, how can you become a servant leader? If you want to embrace servant leadership, start by: 1.  Developing your self-awareness and understanding your strengths, weaknesses, and values. 2.  Practicing active listening and paying attention to the needs and ideas of others. 3.  Fostering collaboration and creating opportunities for people to work together. 4.  Empowering people to make decisions and take responsibility. 5.  Being a role model for the behaviors you value. Servant leadership isn’t just a trend; it's a #mindset. It’s the best way to create successful and sustainable businesses that benefit all stakeholders and better yet, keeps your people happy and innovating. Do you work for a servant leader or an old school boss? Change the script. Be True, Be Curious, Be Driven.

💰 In the U.S., tech giants dominate with trillions in market value, but Latin America is making its mark with its own "Triumphant Three": Mercado Livre, Nubank, and iFood, as highlighted by venture capital firm Atlantico in the article. 💬 “We hear critics say Latin America won’t produce world-class tech companies, but our region’s largest company is tech-based, and the world’s biggest digital bank is ours,” says Vasconcellos. Other rising stars include Stone, PagSeguro, VTex, and Uruguay’s Dlocal. 🔥 Latin America is proving it’s ready to lead in tech innovation! Don’t overlook the growth potential in the LATAM market, especially in financial innovation 📈!

In a powerful way, I want to emphasize the collaborative work between companies, universities and institutes for the relentless pursuit of security combined with innovation. Pioneering in applicability, originating from the work of Brazilians, which can be applied in CBDC environments, Payment Systems, among others. To materialize, we simulated off-chain and generated a paper in this first phase, in order to protect a CBDC environment based on DLT (e.g.: Hyperledger Besu), which many Central Banks are adopting, as well as the Banco Central do Brasil: Applying Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms to a DLT-Based CBDC Infrastructure: Comparative and Feasibility Analysis (https://lnkd.in/dgphDCJA) I want to highlight the hands-on work of Venturus, represented by Daniel Moraes, and support/analysis of all: Bruno Grossi, MSc do Inter, Gustavo Mirapalheta da FGV - Fundação Getulio Vargas, Marcos Simplicio of Escola Politécnica da USP, @George Marcel and Oscar Zibordi de Paiva of Banco Bradesco, Bruno Domingues of Intel Corporation, Courtnay Nery Guimarães of Avanade, Microsoft with Fabio Saito, Wesley Rodrigues and PhD. João Paulo Aragão Pereira. We have already been honored to be mentioned by a personality in the field: Prof Bill Buchanan OBE FRSE - https://lnkd.in/ezEi6Apx Great times are coming!!! #dlt #cbdc #microsoft #security #pqc

Generative AI is transforming the cybersecurity landscape, presenting both incredible opportunities and significant challenges. Our VP of Product Marketing & Cyber Evangelist, Augusto Barros, recently shared his insights in CSO Online, discussing the complex role of #GenAI in the ongoing cybersecurity battle. 🔍Augusto highlighted GenAI's immense potential while also cautioning about emerging threats. Attackers are now exploiting AI models through techniques like data poisoning and model inversion, which could lead to severe breaches. However, by implementing strategies like adversarial training and algorithm auditing, we can defend against these sophisticated threats. 🔐 At Securonix, we’re not just observing these developments—we’re leading the charge. We’re actively integrating AI into our solutions to enhance anomaly detection, automate incident response, and streamline secure software development. Our mission is clear: as the threat landscape evolves, our defenses must evolve even faster and smarter. 📈 Augusto says it’s just the beginning of the road for the discipline of protecting AI systems.
