Mastermind - Professor Roger Steare - Rethinking leadership, ethics and organisational culture

Author: Jeremy Snape March 21, 2024 Duration: 52:04

Professor Roger Steare is The Corporate Philosopher – a senior advisor on culture, leadership and organisational development, ethics and inclusion. He has a unique track record of challenging and supporting global corporations on billion-dollar risk management and remediation programmes.

His work with BP after the Gulf of Mexico disaster was crucial to the company's recovery plan, with Roger's cultural advice and leadership training endorsed within the US Department of Justice Consent Agreement of 2016. He has advised Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Bank and RBS after the credit crisis, PPI mis-selling and Libor manipulation scandals, with his work publicly endorsed by the Financial Conduct Authority.


In this episode, Roger outlines the difference between leaders and ‘misleaders’ and provokes reflection on what ethical organisational cultures should look like. He shares pragmatic advice for leaders on forming genuine connections, reshaping meetings for psychological safety, and establishing a culture where every voice can rise above the power dynamics to enhance performance. Tune in to hear Roger’s witty insights that challenge our traditional assumptions of the workplace.

What does it actually take to perform at the very highest level? That’s the question driving Inside the Mind of Champions, hosted by former England cricketer Jeremy Snape. For a decade, Jeremy has been on a global quest to decode the psychology of success, moving far beyond the cricket pitch. His conversations aren’t just with legendary athletes and coaches; he sits down with neuroscientists, special forces operatives, top-tier business leaders, and performing artists to find the common threads in their mental frameworks. Each episode of this podcast feels like a privileged access pass, where you’ll hear firsthand accounts of pressure, resilience, and the subtle thought patterns that separate the good from the truly great. You won’t just get inspirational stories-you’ll get tangible insights into decision-making, leadership under stress, and cultivating a mindset that thrives on challenge. Whether you’re an entrepreneur facing a critical pitch, a manager building a team, or simply curious about the inner workings of excellence, this series translates the principles of championship thinking into something you can apply. Jeremy’s unique background as both an international sportsman and a performance consultant allows him to ask the nuanced questions that reveal how these exceptional individuals consistently win, create, and lead. Tune in for a deep, practical exploration of what happens behind the scenes of remarkable achievement.
