Summary

Are the rules that make powerful people powerful changing? Can they still bank on the old myth of the superhuman CEO or political leader? Business journalist from the Telegraph, Evening Standard and beyond James Ashton has just published The Nine Types Of Leader: How The Leaders Of Tomorrow Can Learn From The Leaders Of Today. He talks to Alex Andreou about how leadership is changing.   “The pendulum has swung from alpha dominated populists to diplomats – from Trump to Biden.” “I hate these words like passion and authenticity – but a leader has to be believable.” “There are still plenty of arrogant thin-skinned leaders around, who need to be surrounded by people who just say the right thing” Presented by Alex Andreou. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
