Episode 15: The Linklaters Ideas Foundry

Speakers: Paul Lewis and Ian Rodwell

Following the popularity of last year’s festive special – where Linklaters Managing Partner, Paul Lewis talked about the books that shaped both his career and his ideas on leadership, motivation and the role of a lawyer – it seemed churlish not to invite Paul back to discuss his literary canter through 2023. From books exploring the success of PayPal and Salesforce to the enthralling story of Beryl Burton (perhaps Britain’s greatest - yet most unheralded – athlete), we discuss the power of creative dissent, the secrets of decision making and the timelessness of 1980’s ‘hair metal’…

Key sources for this episode include:

  • Jeremy Wilson - Beryl: in search of Britain’s greatest athlete
  • Marc Benioff and Carlye Adler - Behind the cloud
  • Marc Benioff - Trailblazer: the power of business as the greatest platform for change
  • Jimmy Soni - The founders: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and the story of PayPal
