Pioneer stories
Pioneer stories is a podcast series in which we interview business founders and leaders who are pioneering new management practices and ways of working to create inspiring organisational cultures. It’s a podcast for business founders and people leaders who are striving to make their own workplaces deliver for their people and who want their culture to be a source of strength that drives the future growth of their company. We interview business founders and leaders who we think we can all learn something from. We get past the conceptual ideas to bring you the day to day habits and practices these businesses use to create and sustain their cultures. We’ll bring you one pioneer each episode so tune in for 30 minutes of wisdom and practical ideas for you to test in your own organisation each week.
