People & Peloton - EP03 | Leadership & Motivation
Leadership sounds good on paper. It gets a lot more real when decisions need to be made under pressure.
In this episode of People & Peloton, Dorien Leyers speaks with Danny Stam, Team Director at Team SD Worx-Protime, and Gille Sebrechts, Chief Digital Officer and Executive Vice President at SD Worx, about what leadership looks like when there is no time to overthink and people are looking to you for direction.
With Lotte Kopecky’s 2025 season as the starting point, this conversation dives into responsibility, motivation, team mentality and the difference between having authority and earning trust. From sport to business, one thing becomes clear: leadership is not about status. It is about behaviour, judgement and knowing when to put the team first.

The Great HR Knowledge Exodus: How Retiring Professionals Are Taking Decades of Wisdom With Them
Picture this: Margaret, your company's payroll manager for 28 years, announces her retirement. She's the one who knows exactly why certain employees get that mysterious quarterly adjustment, how to navigate the labyrinthine state tax codes for your multi-location business, and which vendor relationships took years to cultivate. In three weeks, she'll be gone—and with her, nearly three decades of hard-earned expertise that no manual or system documentation could ever capture.
Margaret's story isn't unique. Across organisations worldwide, a seismic shift is reshaping the HR and payroll landscape as baby boomers retire at a rate of 10,000 a day, taking with them an irreplaceable treasury of institutional knowledge, relationship dynamics, and battle-tested problem-solving approaches that can't be easily transferred through a handover document.
