On the Subject of Leadership is a long-form conversation about what makes organisations work—and why much of what passes for leadership advice does not. Each episode features an executive or practitioner whose conclusions have been tested in consequential settings. The work is analytical, not anecdotal: incentives, power, trust, culture, and the limits of authority. Ideas are challenged, not affirmed. This is not motivational theatre. It is a search for what holds up under pressure. If you take leadership seriously and are sceptical of easy answers, this is for you.

Most conversations about corporate governance begin with structure—committees, charters, the machinery of oversight. This one ends on the side of a dirt road in Nepal in 1999, and the road turns out to explain the boardr
Most conversations about artificial intelligence and the product manager begin by asking whether the role survives. This one begins somewhere more useful: by asking what the role was ever actually for. In this episode of
