What is effective leadership?

In this episode we speak with Tom Barry, Co-Founder of leadership & performance consultancy, Will It Make the Boat Go Faster. Tom and his co-founder Ben Hunt Davis, who won a Gold Medal in Sydney in the British Rowing Eight, borrow from his Olympic gold medal story with a simple question, if I do this or if I do that, Will it Make the Boat Go Faster? After co-founding his performance consultancy 11 years ago, he and the WIMTBGF team takes the principles, practices, mindset, and way of working from olympic gold medalists into everyday life for individuals, teams, and organisations. Tom brings more than 40 years of experience in leadership, performance, and consultancy. During our chat, he discusses what a leader does, what a leader doesn’t do, the disciplines and mentality required of a leader, and what we can all do to become better leaders regardless of the job title that we hold.
