Sick of leadership talks that sound less like a motivational speech but more like propaganda for a leader’s ego? You’re not alone.

This episode of The Rebel Perspective rips the glossy veneer off “inspirational leadership” and gets real about what it actually takes to lead with guts, clarity, and a good dose of humanity.

Hosts JP and Neil dives into the messy, human side of leadership with Helen Webb OBE and Jemima Bird, two leaders who’ve cut their teeth at Co-Op, ASDA, Sainsbury’s and beyond. Together, they unpack servant leadership, empowerment, and why authenticity isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the bedrock of trust.

They share what happens when culture and consistency collide, why simplicity beats overengineering every time, and how feedback delivered with kindness and precision can transform teams faster than any shiny leadership framework ever will.

This one’s for anyone tired of jargon-filled leadership seminars that forget one crucial fact: leadership is about people.

What you’ll learn from this conversation:

• Authenticity isn’t optional it’s the foundation of great leadership.
• Empowerment without accountability is chaos.
• Culture isn’t built in away- days it’s forged in everyday habits.
• Feedback, done right, is the ultimate leadership superpower.
• Simplicity beats strategy decks. Every. Single. Time.
• Servant leaders don’t climb ladders they leave them behind for others.
• Radical transparency earns more trust than any motivational slogan ever could.

If you’re ready to trade the buzzwords for brutal honesty — hit play.
