What does good leadership look like when everything’s changing?
In this episode, Olly sits down with strategic leader, Gary Simpson, to talk about what it really takes to lead in a world that doesn’t sit still. They unpack the tension between short-term wins and long-term vision, why clarity beats control, and how the best leaders create space for others to thrive.
From futures thinking to B2G customer insight, Gary shares a fresh take on leadership that’s grounded in values, not vanity—and built for what’s next.
Connect with Gary.
