Great leaders don’t just walk in and start making changes—they listen, learn, and then lead.

Jason Desentz, Chief Human Resources Officer at Toshiba America, has built a career on this principle. From consulting to leading HR at major corporations, he has mastered the balance between business impact and cultural legacy.

In this episode, Jason shares how he navigates massive organizational shifts, why he believes influence is about trust just as much as strategy, and how being proactive in your career can open unexpected doors.

Jason also talks about:

• How he builds rapport with team members when stepping into a new role
• The bold move that got him into Chrysler’s high-potential program
• The power of asking the right follow-up questions to shift a conversation and open opportunities
