    Why Leadership Might NOT Need Leaders | Rethinking Workplace Culture & Wellbeing (Danny Wareham)

    This episode of the Working Well Beings Podcast, recorded live at the Employee Experience Expo 2026, features organisational psychologist Danny Wareham discussing leadership, workplace culture, personality psychology, and why performance may actually be a side effect of the right environment. Danny explores a provocative idea: what if leadership isn’t about leaders at all? From the science behind personality traits to the dangers of “authenticity” at work, this conversation challenges common workplace assumptions — including popular personality tests, traditional leadership models, and how organisations approach employee wellbeing. In this episode, we discuss: Why leadership doesn’t always require a leaderThe concept of constellation leadershipHow workplace culture shapes performance and wellbeingThe psychology behind narcissism, personality traits, and behaviour at workWhy tools like DISC and Myers-Briggs can be misleadingThe real reason employees disengageWhy wellbeing strategies often fail organisationsThe gap between what companies say and what they actually do Danny argues that organisations don’t just employ people — they borrow them from their families, and have a responsibility to return them in a better condition. If you’re interested in leadership, HR, workplace wellbeing, organisational psychology, or building healthier company cultures, this episode is packed with insight. 🎙 Guest Danny Wareham — Organisational Psychologist specialising in social dynamics, culture, engagement, and personality science.
