Great catching up with Kieran Mulligan, Chief Risk Officer of Secured Lending for Barclays UK, asking about his career. 1️⃣How do you navigate when 2 of your senior executives disagree on something? First, we need to understand the ‘why’ of the problem. The purpose is key to deciding the action. Then we consider the long-term significance about the potential route forward. The data can often signal whether the item is material, and how to progress a problem. Lastly, and most important, is the relationship between the leaders and you. Trust must be built over time between the decision makers so we can navigate through issues without harming the relationship. 2️⃣How did you differentiate yourself early in your career? I didn’t have a big plan when I started my career. Simple things like working hard, asking for help, and putting yourself forward for new projects outside your comfort zone. The key is enjoying the work. If you don’t enjoy it, you’ll be miserable everyday. If you enjoy it, you’ll take pride in the work you present. 3️⃣What do you do to manage the stress of your responsibilities? Learn the quality of your team early. The better your team and your development of them, the more you can delegate effectively. *view from the London office over Canary Wharf*
