Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 61 - Deep Roots: Leadership in Enduring Organisations with Professor Alex Hill
Q: What are the practical implications for the Army in terms of stewardship and not owning but custodianship of traditions and values?
Hill emphasizes the need for a balanced cadre of stewards (a quarter of the workforce) who model values, with younger disruptors driving innovation; the organisation must manage the tension between tradition and transformation to protect and evolve its culture over time.
Episode 61 - Deep Roots: Leadership in Enduring Organisations with Professor Alex Hill
Q: To start with a bit of a scene setter, what first led you to study organisations that survived for a century or more? I suppose, what surprised you most about them?
Hill explains his shift from short-term, target-driven business environments to long-term, generational thinking after experiences in industry and academia, noticing that many organisations fail because they focus on immediate results rather than sustainable, multi-generational value.
Episode 60 - Leading From The Front Row with Amy Turner
Q: What role did trust play in your high-performance teams?
Trust grew from consistent actions aligning with words, enabling hard performance conversations and rapid, informed decision-making.
Episode 60 - Leading From The Front Row with Amy Turner
Q: How did your understanding of leadership evolve from player to coach?

Episode 58 - 2026 Leadership Foundations with Maj Gen Nick Cowley OBE
Q: What does the Army most need to refocus its leadership efforts on in 2026?
The constant thing in leadership that we will always need to do is look after our people.
