When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years.

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'.

Something which we’ve I’ve noticed missing among all the forensic dissection of how the libs lost this or the greens lost that. There’s a massive, glaring fact which I haven’t seen discussed yet, so I thought I’d put it out there. It’s got to do with what we&rsq...

This is exactly what this chat between Osher and Andrea Clarke will help you do. Andrea is a work futuri...
