Richard has an unrivalled pedigree, having spent a significant chunk of his early career with the World Bank which included investigating the Bank's values as part of his work in their Environmentally Sustainable Development programme.
He left the World Bank in 1997 to set up his own consultancy - which subsequently evolved into the Barrett Values Centre - and the following year he published Liberating the Corporate Soul - Building a Visionary Organisation in which he predicted, "In the 21st Century the soft stuff is destined to become the hard stuff." He also outlined his Seven Levels of Consiousness model and how it applies to individuals and organisations.
Richard's many subsequent books have included Building a Values-driven Organisation: A Whole System Approach to Cultural Transformation in 2006 and The New Leadership Paradigm in 2011.

David Rooke has been at the forefront of leadership development for over 30 years, and co-wrote (with Bill Torbert) the highly influential Harvard Business Review paper The Seven Transformations of Leadership which outlined the concept of the Leadership Development Framework.
Jennifer's business is called Cultivating Leadership, which 'does what it says on on the tin'. She has authored and co-authored several books, most recently Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps - How to Thrive in Complexity.
In this episode we look at some of the factors that can inhibit us from 'thriving in complexity', and also delve into the idea that Leadership is a journey, not a destination.
Seven Transformations of Leadership by David Rooke and Bill Torbert is available on the Harvard Business Review website. And you can find out more about David and his work at Harthill.co.uk.

Matthew Taylor chaired the Government's review into the Future of Work, so he has a deep understanding of the significance of work in our lives and what it will mean to do 'good work' in the future.
Here he discusses the ideas behind the concept of 'good work'; summarises some of the Report's key recommendations to the Government; and tells what it was like working on the review.
Matthew is CEO of the RSA - short for the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Commerce and Manufactures. It was founded in 1754 by business philanthropists who recognised the importance of enabling people to live a rich and fulfilled life. Their current strap-line is "21st Century Enlightenment."

In the 21st century we are entering a new stage of human development that needs us to adapt and move on from some of our traditional leadership behaviours.
In a hyper-connected world where our actions can have far-reaching and unintended consequences, we have to be able to set aside our egos and make decisions based on big picture thinking.
John Knights and Danielle Grant are co-authors (along with Greg Young) of the book Leading Beyond the Ego and are both Directors of LeaderShape Global. They have been working to develop transpersonal leadership skills with their clients for more than a decade.
In this podcast I discuss some of these issues with them and get their thoughts on how we can integrate an 'eco-centric' approach into our leadership practice.
