About this episode
In this episode, Guy Bloom sits down with long time colleague Jamie MacPherson for a conversation grounded in real leadership experience. This is not theory. It is what leadership looks like in practice when expectations are high, pressure is real, and people are watching. Together, they explore:  The gap between knowing and doing in leadership  What shows up under pressure  The behaviours that build trust and the ones that quietly erode it  The reality of leading peers, not just teams  Why experience does not always equal effectiveness This is a conversation shaped by years of working in and around leadership, not observing it from a distance. If you are serious about your impact as a leader, there is something in here for you.00:00 Introduction to Leadership Dynamics01:03 Defining Leadership: What Does It Mean?04:11 The Spectrum of Leadership: Big L vs. Small L10:02 Contextual Leadership: When Position Doesn't Matter14:02 The Role of Followership in Leadership19:48 The Essence of Being a Leader29:47 Conclusion: When Does Leadership Truly Start? To find out more about Guy Bloom and his award winning work in Team Coaching, Leadership Development and Executive Coaching click below.The link to everything CLICK HEREUK: 07827 953814Email: guybloom@livingbrave.com Web: www.livingbrave.com
