It’s episode 2 of James’ journey into hybrid leadership, and answering the question: 'what makes an effective hybrid leader?'

Today, he’s looking at what we can learn from industries who’ve done hybrid working for decades, and to do that he’s joined by Organisational Psychologist & a Head of Development and Engagement at Openreach; Michaela Beauchamp, and a fellow Senior Learning Consultant at Capita with a focus on health & wellbeing; Sian Parr.

Together, we explore why you need to ‘make it personal’, what we can learn from engineering teams who’ve been working remotely for decades, and how AI is helping Openreach identify leadership talent more efficiently than ever.
