The EVOLVING Leadership Podcast

In our EVOLVING Podcast series Dr Gill I’Anson and Dr Sue Knowles talk with leaders, academics and intellectual thinkers from a variety of backgrounds about their thoughts and experiences of the key elements of good, psychologically responsive leadership. The EVOLVING framework, which provides the basis for these discussions, draws upon the key aspects of leadership from an organisational and clinical psychological stance, and the available research, theory and practice knowledge.
