For this episode, David provides you with some excerpts of an interview he has done with the British broadcast journalist and TV presenter Rob Bell. Rob is best known for his programmes about engineering, industrial history and pursuing outdoor adventure.

Recently, Rob has started exploring how society and organisations can encourage male friendships and positive male communities. That is what they discuss today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A lot of business leaders present themselves as unrelenting decision-makers who are always driving forward, as being alphas.

• Most of the world´s biggest business leaders are not naturally extroverted or charismatic.

• Great leaders don´t have to posture, they use their words and actions to motivate and lead.

• Being authentic and vulnerable resonates with others.

• If you never say sorry, admit someone else´s idea is better than yours or show empathy, you end up isolating others.

• Maintaining a persona burns a lot of energy, you really do need to be yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

“I´m not alpha at all.”

“People know that they (authentic leaders) mean it because of the way they behave.”

“You have to be you to be the best you can.”

“How genuine they are gives me goosebumps…it´s important to encourage people to be real.”

“Friendship is not needing to worry about who you are and how you come across.”

“Radical candour is where you care personally and challenge directly… you are more likely to find that in friendship groups.”
