Summary
Mike Henry said he had been thinking about handing over the reins at BHP since his first day as chief executive, framing succession as a core part of the job from the outset.
On that first day, Henry said BHP’s then-chair told him “succession starts now,” making clear that one of his biggest accountabilities was to develop the next generation of leaders.
The remarks, made on the latest episode of Leaders With Francine Lacqua, cast leadership development as Henry’s final management lesson as he discusses his tenure at the miner.
