  Oct 2, 202645 min

  On this episode of MB2 Underground, Sarah Reed and Jonathan Tyroch sit down with Deland Basora, Head of U.S. Professional Oral Health at Procter & Gamble, for a conversation about leadership, lifelong learning, and what it takes to keep growing throughout your career. Deland shares how an unexpected internship turned into 25 years at Procter & Gamble, why he considers himself an "intrapreneur," and how curiosity has shaped the way he approaches leadership and new opportunities. They also get into developing leaders, building trust within teams, creating environments where people can do their best work, and how those same leadership principles show up outside of the office. Tune in for a conversation about staying curious, learning from the people around you, and why great leadership starts with never assuming you have it all figured out.
