IPWAC - If Politics Was a Company

If Politics Was A Company (IPWAC) is a podcast about leadership, reputation and organisational behaviour. Every week, we take one of the world’s biggest political or current affairs stories and ask a simple question: What if this had happened inside a company? Governments are simply organisations with different job titles. Prime Ministers are CEOs. Cabinets are executive teams. Civil servants are managers. Political parties are competing brands. Through that lens, we explore how boards, CEOs and leaders might respond to the same crises, conflicts and opportunities making headlines around the world—and what every leader, from the boardroom to the shop floor, can learn from them. Hosted by leadership development and organisational behaviour expert Tom Crawford , with thought-provoking guests from business, politics and beyond.

IPWAC - If Politics Was a Company is a general podcast hosted by Unknown Host, with 0 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80. PitchCentric scores this show on Booking Probability, Listen Score, and live audience signals refreshed every 24 hours.

  What if Keir Starmer had been a CEO?

  Aug 21, 202622 minS1

  <p>Recent reporting about life inside Downing Street raises some fascinating questions about leadership: decision-making, communication, culture, vision — and what happens when someone who excelled in one role finds themselves in a very different one.</p><p></p><p>In this episode of IPWAC, I ask what might happen if the same leadership challenges were playing out in a major company. Would a board intervene? Would the CEO be given better support? And are we sometimes too quick to assume that success in one job automatically equips someone for the next?</p><p></p><p>This isn’t about political ideo...

  Investigation by Media: The Human Cost of Accountability

  Aug 16, 20267 minS1

  <p>The death of Professor Jason Arday has deeply troubled me. Largely due to the disproportional public scrutiny he received versus many others which led to the devastating human consequences which followed.</p><p></p><p>In this very short reflective episode, I consider what we might compassionately learn from an awful situation — about accountability, investigation, media scrutiny and, above all, our responsibility for the human being at the centre of it all.</p><p></p><p>Not to judge, but to ask what we could do differently. Because compassion isn’t exoneration, and accountability should never come at the expe...

  Total Eclipse of the Leader? - How Leadership Has Changed in 30 Years

  Aug 13, 202618 minS1

  <p>The solar eclipse this week is doing exactly what it says on the tin - eclipsing most other events, political or otherwise. And, inevitably, some politicians are making the most of their moment in the shadows.</p><p></p><p>But rather than just looking upwards, Tom looks backwards - to the last time he watched an eclipse almost thirty years ago.</p><p></p><p>A lot has changed since then. No smartphones. Barely any email. Very different workplaces - and some very different ideas about what it meant to be a leader.</p><p></p><p>So...
