Drawing on over 300 years of British Army leadership experience, ’The Centre For Army Leadership Podcast’ looks to get to the heart of 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, but critically it underpins our operational success. This Podcast Series seeks to harness diversity of thought and experience, from leaders across the military, sport, academia and business worlds, stimulating debate, awareness and critical thinking.
Leadership matters to us all and our successes, and indeed our failures, are so often defined by how well we are led, or indeed by how well we lead.
We hope by sharing our experiences and by learning from others we can promote the value of great leadership, and together we can develop ourselves, our teams and in turn the society in which we live.
