Change in business is inevitable but do you, as a senior leader, always relish the idea of dealing with it? For self-confessed change champion, Paul Lindley, Entrepreneur, Founder of Ella’s Kitchen and Chancellor at the University of Reading, change is essential for success but it needs to be based on clarity of purpose. And systemic change needs to last longer than the person in the senior role.

“If we don't change, we stand still and if we stand still, we really move backwards.”

In the fourth part of our Leadership Unlocked podcast series, Paul speaks to Professor Bernd Vogel, Director of the Henley Centre for Leadership, about his thoughts on leadership as a platform not a hierarchy, why feeling should come before figures, learning from failure, and how projects with meaningful purpose are core to his life and aspirations.

“The purpose of each of us is to leave the world in a better place than if we weren't here or before we were here.”
