Karl and Esther Martin return for the fourth and final episode of The Truth About, the latest series from the Arable Leader podcast. This time, they're exploring strategy - a topic every leader encounters about but few handle well. What are the key questions you should ask yourself to ensure you're on the right path? Where do leaders most often go wrong? And how can you take control of your direction and build a strategy that truly works?

Karl and Esther Martin return for the third episode of The Truth About, the latest series from the Arable Leader podcast. This week, they're unpacking Authenticity - a quality often praised in leadership but just as often misunderstood. What does it really mean to "be yourself" as a leader? Where can the drive to be authentic actually become a trap? And how might we cultivate a deeper, truer, and more consistent form of authenticity that inspires trust in those we lead?

Karl and Esther Martin are back for the second installment of The Truth About, the latest series from the Arable Leader podcast. This series is about exposing inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about common concepts in leadership - and this week the team is tackling certainty. How we become trapped by it, how to deal with its absence, and how to thrive in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, world.

In this, the first episode of The Truth About, the latest series from the Arable Leader podcast, Karl Martin and his daughter Esther Martin set out to expose innacurate or unhelpful beliefs about common concepts in leadership. Starting with success, how culture defines it, how leaders think of it, and how getting it wrong can set us on a terrible trajectory, Karl and Esther outline a new vision for what success can be. A more holistic vision, a more soulful vision.
