*Ok Ok busted…we got an AI to generate this summary. The word delves was the giveaway wasn’t it? Anyway, we thought it did a pretty good job. Lacked our usual smart aleck tone but probably more informative. Hopefully, it has encouraged you to listen to the episode. We think it’s one of our good ones as Diya really does know what she is talking about here. It’s motivated us to seek out more collaborators and guests. Watch this space for new episodes on power at work, military leadership and bad/zombie leaders.
PS Sorry for the long break between episodes. Both of us got busy and two guest speakers cancelled their sessions. No Christmas presents for them this year. But we managed to get one of them back so expect another episode in the not too distant future.
Being good evidence based practitioners, we are seeking feedback from our audience on our podcasts. So please tell us all the things we are doing well as well as pandering to your innate drive to criticise the work of others.
We may listen and adjust or we may just continue to be ourselves and do things our own way, dammit.
