With the backdrop of a COVID pandemic Julia and Andrew tackle leadership and discuss various models linked to the herd.

There’s a real need for leaders to be agile and flexible. So what does that mean to Julia and Andrew? We find out through a canter looking at how the herd operates and challenging old styles of leadership

During the discussion the pair draw a direct link between how good our leaders are and their ability to navigate the current situation, inspire and motivate others and the results of the company. Finding a direct linear connection and empirical evidence of how if we’ve got better leaders, we can actually improve team performance and get better results.

The couple touch on the importance of and learning and development because there is a point at which leadership, when we’re looking at leadership, those that are planning and looking at how things are run, do need to have more of a commercial mind about them.

In essence we are all  leaders, but what could shared leadership look like in an organisation and what can we learn from the herd?

Julia sets out how the mare leads at the front and the stallion at the back but what happens at the side this leads to  dialogue on collaboration and the importance of empowering your teams. To round off the conversation Julia and Andrew look at the impact on millennials
