The Curious Case of the Umbrella in the Boardroom
In this Ordinary Extraordinary Leaders podcast, titled "The Curious Case of the Umbrella in the Boardroom", Mike Hickman, Leadership Development & Training Manager at Community First Yorkshire, is joined by Sally Steadman - a former mentee turned mentor, senior leader, charity trustee, and passionate advocate for good governance and visible leadership.
Together, they delve into what really makes a board work, why governance isn't just a buzzword, and how trust, diversity, and collective responsibility shape successful leadership. From the power of mentoring to the importance of having the right voices at the table - and even a metaphorical umbrella - Sally shares candid reflections and practical wisdom for new and experienced trustees alike.
