Rudy Alanis, CHRO & EVP of Facility Solutions Group, Real Leadership

What if everything you thought about leadership was wrong?

Rudy Alanis grew up in a family where leadership meant service, purpose, and people. But after 25 years in global HR leadership—working at GE, TE Connectivity, Helix Electric, and now as Chief People Officer at Facility Solutions Group (FSG)—he’s learned that success isn’t just about working hard or getting results. It’s about how you lead people along the way.

In this episode of Real Leadership, Rudy shares the defining moments that shaped his leadership philosophy, from his first big reality check with Jack Welch to navigating a high-stakes leadership challenge in post-communist Prague, where trust wasn’t given—it had to be earned.

In this episode, we cover:

🔥 The biggest leadership myth that’s holding companies back

🔥 Why great results don’t always mean great leadership

🔥 How to build a winning team without creating “corporate carnage”

🔥 The mistake that turns high performers into company risks

🔥 Mentors vs. Sponsors – The career secret no one tells you
