Career Highlights and Challenges Explored in New Henley Podcast Series
Candid conversations with senior leaders: New Henley podcast lifts the lid on life as a senior leader today
The path to becoming a senior leader is not always easy. But learning from others’ successes and setbacks can help us reflect on and refine our own route to the top.
In the new podcast series, ‘Leadership Unlocked’, Bernd Vogel, Professor in Leadership and Founding Director of the Henley Centre for Leadership, assembles a formidable lineup of senior figures who talk openly about their leadership journeys.
Despite their differing career paths and industries, guests share common experiences and goals, but also bring contrasting perspectives on what success looks like for a senior leader and how to get there.
Topics tackled throughout the series include self-leadership and leadership as a platform, the importance of making tough choices, accepting and jumping on serendipity, the art of influencing, knowing when to get out of the way, the reality of self-doubt and setbacks, and questions around age and ego. Guests also share which leadership myths they would like to eradicate if they could, producing some passionate responses.
