episode 93 - the word is clothes

This week’s random word - clothes- invites a fresh look at how leaders present themselves, and more importantly, how they shape their leadership identity.

Inspired by the classic sayings “the clothes maketh the person” and “the emperor’s new clothes,” this episode explores the visible and invisible layers of leadership.

From Savile Row insights to the difference between off-the-peg, tailored, and bespoke suits, we uncover a metaphor for how leaders grow: from imitating others to customising their style, to ultimately creating leadership that fits them and inspires others.

True leadership isn’t about the uniform. It’s about what’s been made for you, and by you.

What kind of leader are you?
