About this listen

Drawing on over 300 years of British Army leadership experience, ’The Centre for Army Leadership Podcast’ looks to establish what is required of our leaders and our leadership, to meet the challenges of both today and tomorrow. For the British Army, leadership underpins everything that we do. It not only ensures we do right by our people, it underpins our operational success. This podcast series seeks to harness diversity of thought and experience from military leaders as well as leaders from the worlds of sport, academia and business, stimulating debate, awareness and critical thinking. Leadership matters to us all with many of our successes and indeed our failures often defined by how well we are led, or indeed by how well we lead. The purpose of the Podcast is to provide a platform where these invaluable leadership lessons and experiences can be shared.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.

    He draws on his experiences to emphasise the principle of “Serve to Lead” and highlights the inherent contradictions of leadership, as well as the importance of creating the right culture from the beginning - living values every day and doing the small things right. Culture is shaped by individuals, and actions count for more than words.
