Leadership Special: What really makes a modern leader?

In this one-off special of the Core Insights Podcast from Warwick Business School, we’re doing something a bit different. Core Insights has teamed up with the Lead Out Loud team to dig deep into one of the most talked-about — and often misunderstood — topics in business today: leadership.

Marking the release of the Core Insights Magazine: Leadership Edition, we brought together two leadership voices who bridge academic theory and real-world experience:

·       Associate Professor Dimitrios Spyridonidis, an expert in leading change at Warwick Business School

·       Sanjiv Patel, chair of the WBS UK and Europe Alumni Network and founder of Sanjiv Speaks, a platform for leadership coaching and mentoring

Together, they explore what it takes to lead with impact in today’s fast-moving world — and why traditional ideas of leadership don’t always hold up.

They cover:

·       Why leadership isn’t about having all the answers, but asking the right questions

·       How meaningful change starts beyond the boardroom

·       The mindset shifts that help leaders navigate uncertainty and inspire action

Whether you're leading a team or looking to make a difference, this episode offers practical insights and fresh thinking.
