About Group Dyna-Mix Since the 2008 financial crisis, existing methods of executive leadership have experienced in-depth scrutiny beyond their control.

Executive leaders have been operating through silent, lucrative and confidential team dynamics that are difficult to access and subsequently difficult to challenge and understand.    Dr Katsarou-Makin explores the team-to-trust and trust-to-team relations between executives and their associates – pertaining to the familial relations between these members and their unconventional codes of conduct. Under this umbrella of governance, directors, leaders and corporate gatekeepers operate in

Alain Liebaert started his career as a management consultant, specializing in reorganizing companies on a ‘no cure, no pay’ basis. Following the death of his father, Alain entered the family business – Liebaert Textiles – and eventually became CEO, where he turned the business around in a declining market.

Compounded by the pandemic-induced economic recession, many companies find themselves operating in declining markets – markets that have no real long-term prospects for growth, and where the demand for certain goods and services are stable at best but are not increasing.
