In this episode of the Change It Podcast, I welcome back the brilliant Edwina Pike whose last episode remains one of our most listened to and loved. And she’s back with a bang.

We tackle the uncomfortable, often unspoken truth: leaders get the outcomes they deserve.

At a time when change practitioners are being told that sponsorship and leadership alignment are the deciding factors of success, this episode is for anyone leading change, working alongside leaders, or feeling frustrated by the gap between intent and impact.

Ed breaks down six powerful keys to leadership from what gets measured, to how leaders respond in a crisis, to the subtle cues of approval and disapproval and shows how each of these shapes team performance more than any slide deck or town hall ever could.

With her signature mix of neuroscience, behavioural science, and straight-talking wisdom, Ed offers a practical playbook to elevate leadership capability and impact. No fluff. Just tools, truth, and transformation.

In this episode:
🔹 The six key behaviours that define effective leadership
🔹 Why most leadership development is outdated—and what to do instead
🔹 How to create a vivid, emotionally engaging vision for your team
🔹 Why resource allocation is the ultimate indicator of priorities
🔹 Practical tips for improving leadership presence and impact
🔹 How change managers can better support (or challenge) leadership

Whether you’re in the C-suite or coaching someone who is, this conversation is a must-listen.
