Our podcast exists to help CEOs, leaders and their teams understand what they need to do differently today to prepare for the world of tomorrow.
During lockdown, Starts At the Top began as a podcast about digital disruption. But we realised that leaders were telling us about something more important and urgent: how traditional ways of leading had changed, forever. We speak to leaders who are carving out new ways of leading, covering topics from emerging tech to inclusion, remote work, mental health and climate change.
Our podcast isn’t about shiny corporate case studies. It’s about the lessons learned and progress made the hard way - and how that can inspire others.
