    Collaboration: Seven Wise Words (Episode 2)

    You can be a successful person by yourself, but not a successful leader. In this conversation with Angela McGowan, Director of CBI Northern Ireland, we explore the word collaboration, and hear about what it means to build community at a team and organisational level. In these crisis-riddled times, effective leadership is no longer just about the leader itself, but about the people they serve.  The outworking of human-centred leadership in community remains one of the greatest challenges for leaders, not least in the digital age. But research points to the necessity of understanding the interconnected nature of leadership - not just with employees and customers but also suppliers, and our wider community.  Around the table is an Illuminaire podcast, hosted by John Healy OBE and Professor Karise Hutchinson. In this series, we are offering seven conversations about seven wise words for leaders. They are not the only wise words - but research and reality tells us that each one starts a necessary conversation about what really matters for leaders in the grey zone. For further reading: The book referenced by Angela in this episode was ‘Ego is the Enemy’ by Ryan Holiday. And for those who want to dive deeper into the research on this topic, here are the top 3 articles we’d recommend: Stokes, J. & Dopson, S. (2020) Ego to eco: leadership for the fourth industrial revolution. Oxford University. HBR (2023) Global leadership development study: Ready for Anything, Harvard Business Publishing. Schwartz, R. (2016) How leaders can help others influence them, Harvard Business Review.  The music for this podcast was generously provided by David Glendinning, an artist based on the North Coast of Northern Ireland.

    Humility: Seven Wise Words (Episode 1)

    Around the table is an Illuminaire podcast, hosted by John Healy OBE and Professor Karise Hutchinson. In this series, we are offering seven conversations about seven wise words for leaders. They are not the only wise words - but research and reality tells us that each one starts a necessary conversation about what really matters for leaders in the grey zone. In this first episode of our Seven Wise Words series, we unpack the word humility. Debunking the myths around this crucial word, research proves humility is in fact a strength not a weakness - impacting relationships, capacity to collaborate and innovate, and ultimately, the performance of a team or organisation. This conversation with Suren Gupta, Executive President of Allstate Insurance, explores what it means to be a humble leader - and how listening, learning and self-awareness can build real connection and trust that endures.  For further reading: The book referenced by Suren in this episode was ‘My Journey’ by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. And for those who want to dive deeper into the research on this topic, here are the top 3 articles we’d recommend: Silard, A., Miao, C., Rego, A., Akkan, E., Yoon, D., & Qian, S. (2025) Leader expressed humility: A meta-analysis and an agenda for future research. Personality and Individual Differences. Morris, A., Brotheridge, C., & Urbanski, J. (2005) Bringing humility to leadership: Antecedents and consequences of leader humility, Human Relations, 58, 10. McKinsey & Company (2021) Psychological safety and the critical role of leadership development, February.
