Trust Through Turmoil: From Chaos to Clarity- Ivan Radovic

About this episode

John Duffin interviews Ivan Radovic about building trust in various sectors and the impact of his experiences on his leadership approach.

Host John Duffin interviews Ivan Radovic, president and CEO of Novaces and author of Trust 360, about how trust enables teams to tackle major challenges across corporate, military, healthcare, disaster recovery, and federal work. Ivan shares how growing up amid the Yugoslav conflicts shaped his view that distrust is a root cause of conflict, and how he built trust after immigrating to the U.S. They discuss resilience after Hurricane Katrina, reframing adversity as opportunity, and “opening new doors” by pursuing work beyond a devastated local market. Ivan describes early career mentorship that launched him into consulting, lessons from large-scale projects, including an oil-spill response with 420,000 task lines, and the importance of process, accountability, clear deadlines, reciprocal mentoring across generations, and using AI to speed work without changing character or authenticity.
