Description
Hi, my name is Steve Barker and I host the RAW Leadership Podcast. The purpose of the RAW Leadership Podcast is to help inspire young, emerging Leaders to step into their potential. The RAW Leadership Podcast will also serve the more experienced Leaders with insights, hints, tips and hacks. Leadership is all about people and this is why the RAW Leadership Podcast is about the "Human Skills" or as they are often referred too... the soft skills of Leadership. Having served 26 years in the Royal Air Force all over the world I have a vast array of experiences and skills in "People". I lived in cultures for years on end and had to observe and learn how to communicate and influence effectively with those around me. I will interview Business Leading experts and we will dive into their experiences and lessons so we can all learn from them. The RAW Leadership Podcast is here to support you to become the very Best Leader you can be.

This episode of the RAW Leadership Podcast has been sitting and brewing ...

Whether it be in your work life, your family life, in your relationships, in your sports and hobbies... the Law of the Lid is universal. Particularly if we look at it through the lens of "Leading...
What if smart leaders don't stop listening because they have a communication problem? What if they stop listening because their ego has quietly replaced their curiosity? In Episode 52 of the RAW Leadership Podcast, Steve Barker explores one of the less comfortable sides of leadership: what happens when our need to be right, respected, safe or in control starts influencing the way we lead. And Steve doesn't just talk about someone else's mistakes. He shares one of his own. Drawing on a real ex...
Emotional intelligence isn’t about making leadership softer. It’s about making leadership more effective. In this short, powerful and straight-to-the-point 16-minute episode of the RAW Leadership Podcast, I challenge the belief that empathy, understanding human behaviour and creating psychological safety are somehow signs of weak leadership.
