The Leaders Council Podcast

The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is currently in the process of talking to leadership figures from across the nation in an attempt to understand this universal trait and what it means in Britain and Northern Ireland today.

Driver Require's CEO, Kieran Smith, was invited onto an episode of the podcast, which also included an interview with Sir Andrew Strauss. Host Scott Challinor asked both guests a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in their careers to date. 

Kieran talks about how Driver Require has managed to navigate its way through the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis, particularly in terms of our working remotely whilst still remaining 100% operational and responsive 24/7. He discusses how we've coped with the well-being of our staff and how we continue to function very much as a team. 

Also featuring in the podcast is a discussion about how our business and our sector will adapt to new challenges and opportunities over the coming 12-18 months. 

Scott Challinor commented, ‘Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.’

Lord Blunkett, chairman of The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland said, ‘I think the most informative element of each episode is the first part, where Scott Challinor is able to sit down with someone who really gets how their industry works and knows how to make their organisation tick. Someone who’s there day in day out working hard and inspiring others. That’s what leadership is all about.’
