Bite Size: How Do You Lead When You’re Told You Have Cancer? | Reini Otter
What happens when you’re a CEO, responsible for hundreds of people — and suddenly, you're the one fighting for your life? In this Bite Size from episode #112, Reini Otter (CEO of global supply chain and logistics giant) shares the moment he was blindsided by a cancer diagnosis and the mindset and leadership skills that helped him face it head-on.
Reini opens up about the immediate shock response, how he navigated the uncertainty, and why gathering the right information was his first step toward taking back control. He also shares how his support network — friends, family, and colleagues — became his greatest asset, helping him, his wife, and his children through brutal treatment and recovery.
This isn’t just a story about illness — it’s a powerful reminder that true leadership starts with how you lead yourself in life’s hardest moments.
