The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is currently in the process of talking to leadership figures from across the nation in an attempt to understand this universal trait and what it means in Britain and Northern Ireland today.

Group CEO, Greg Ellison, was invited onto an episode of the podcast, which also included an interview with Sir Andrew Strauss. Host Matthew O'Neill asked both guests a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in their careers to date.

Lord Blunkett, chairman of The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, said, ‘I think the most informative element of each episode is the first part, where Matthew O'Neill is able to sit down with someone who really gets how their industry works and knows how to make their organisation tick. Someone who’s there day in day out working hard and inspiring others. That's what leadership is all about.’
