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.

Manchester local Tim Hyde, Founder and Director of Social Media Marketing Agency, TWH Media, was recently invited onto an episode of the podcast, which also included an interview with Sir Geoff Hurst, MBE. Host Scott Challinor asked both guests a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in their careers to date.

Delighted to be featured alongside one of his heroes, Tim Hyde said, “From a business leaders perspective, I am flattered to have been selected to be involved in this podcast and we hope it is listened to as widely as possible. From a personal perspective, to have my name in the same sentence at the legendary Sir Geoff Hurst is beyond flattering and a complete privilege for me.”

Scott Challinor commented, ‘Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.’

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 Scott Challinor 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.’
