In this opening episode, Paul explores what he believes is the greatest hidden problem in leadership today.

Drawing on over four decades of experience, he looks at how leadership is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and reduced to surface-level fixes — while the real issues remain unseen.

In this episode, Paul reflects on:

• why many leadership problems are hidden in plain sight

• how obedience is often mistaken for leadership effectiveness

• the difference between managing behaviour and cultivating ownership

• why outcomes are easy to copy, but processes are harder to see

• how misdiagnosis leads to repeated organisational frustration
