What actually constitutes being a great leader? Define it for me. Without that definition we can't truly say how you make someone great at it.

Why are Iron Man & Captain America in charge? Why are Batman & Superman in charge? How are these two pairs so similar? How does Hitler fit in all this? Why isn't T'Challa in charge?

A few awesome extracts from the book 'As a man thinketh' by James Allen.   Short and sweet but definitely relevant to leadership!!!

Personality must have a huge say on if you are an effective/good leader or not.   Myers-Briggs is the standard test for personality type when looking at leadership and I'm not quite sure I like my results or not??

Is the person in charge the Leader? Can the figure head be just the face and voice? Does the star player need to be a great leader? When the Superbowl comes around, who is actually in charge of each team?

Is integrity one of the most important traits in leadership? I'll be looking at my own integrity to compare to the most common integrity traits and analysing how these traits can be utilised in the real world.

Some amazing extracts from the book Managing Oneself by Peter F. Drucker

A brief look at the #1 New York best seller by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin on their leadership principles that they gained through their experiences as a US Navy Seal.

Touching on the book 'Never Stop Walking' by Christina Rickardsson. How I believe my adoption affected me and the leadership traits I gained from it.

Are all leadership scenarios the same?? Are the traits required different? Are the followers vital to your perceived leadership ability?

First podcast back in 2024.   A little bit on Jose Mourinho. A scene I noticed in the movie Aliens. Another scene I noticed in the movie Hacksaw Ridge.

An review of an extract from the the military leadership book of given out by the British Army to young officers training at Sandhurst.

Stand up Straight.  A review on the military leadership book written by Major General Paul Nanson.

This whole concept is based around the study of leadership and hopefully we can together decipher the ultimate cheat code for what needs to be done to become that ultimate level of leader. Essentially this is my very first chat on what my objectives are and what my plan is (let's just say 'the only way is up')
