    073: How leaders win attention with storytelling - In Good Company with Andrew Panay

    Your strategy might be right. But if your story isn't landing, nobody's listening. In this episode of In Good Company, Hollywood producer Andrew Panay - creator of Super Bowl campaigns for Microsoft and T-Mobile and producer of films starring Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper - shares what leaders can learn from storytelling. Andrew argues that most organisations don't have a strategy problem; they have a storytelling problem. In a world flooded with noise, leaders need stories that capture attention, build trust and inspire action. Dan and Andrew explore: 🎬 Why consumers and stakeholders don't buy into strategy - they buy into stories 🎬 How leaders can tell stories that create trust, action and belief 🎬 The surprising relationship between AI, Gen Z and human connection 🎬 Why great leadership requires curiosity, humility and external perspectives 🎬 Hollywood storytelling secrets that help ideas stick Whether you're leading a team, shaping culture, pitching an idea or communicating change, this conversation offers practical insights into how stories move people when facts alone don't.

    072: Leading in complexity - In Good Company with Professor Sudhanshu Palsule

    Is “complexity” becoming a leadership excuse? In this podcast, Professor Sudhanshu Palsule - educator at Duke, Cambridge associate and global advisor - joins Dan to explore what it really takes to lead through exponential change. From the limits of VUCA and BANI to the hidden patterns that keep leaders stuck, this is a grounded, human take on transformational leadership in an AI-shaped world. You’ll learn: 💭 Why complexity is often misunderstood - and misused 💭 What’s different about exponential vs. linear change 💭 Why leaders default to unhelpful behaviours (and how to interrupt them) 💭 How empathy, purpose and care act as strategic drivers - not soft skills 💭 Why learning must be experiential to truly stick 💭 What curiosity really costs - and why it matters more than ever This is essential listening for leaders navigating uncertainty, change and the future of work.

    When even James Bond isn’t enough to save your business… what do you do next?In this podcast Dan talks to Chris Blade - the CEO of Cumbria Crystal, the UK’s last manufacturer of luxury English crystal - who made the extraordinary decision to step down to protect something more important than his role: the skills that keep the business alive.

And one uncomfortable truth for all leaders: “without the skills of the staff, there is no company.” Chris's conversation with Dan covers: 🥃 The realities that forced a CEO to step down 🥃 How leaders can protect critical skills in their organisations 🥃 The personal cost of leading when there are no good options 🥃 The surprising link between craftsmanship, creativity, and economic growth Listen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?

    068: Understanding change differentials at work - In Good Company with Steph Oerton

    One change, many realities - sound familiar? The challenge organisations face today isn’t just change - it’s that the same change creates very different realities. Depending on your role, your life stage, where you work and what you’re measured on, change can feel like opportunity, pressure, freedom or threat. In this episode of In Good Company, Steph Oerton from Network Rail, draws on 30-years experience of leadership development to explores these change differentials - and what leaders need to notice if they want engagement, trust and wellbeing to survive ongoing change. The podcast covers:🚇 Why the same change can feel energising to some and unsettling to others🚇 What reciprocal mentoring reveals about experience, confidence and technology🚇 How leaders carry their role differently🚇 When wellbeing depends on telling it like it is “People need to understand why the change is happening. Creating a compelling vision helps people understand why - and then how they can contribute to that. Often change comes in like stealth and if people don't get it, they don't understand.”Steph OrtonListen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe to our YouTube and Spotify channels so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?
