The Inspiring Leadership Podcast
Leadership is everything; whether you’re leading the village hall committee, the largest organisation in the world, or simply leading yourself. Leadership begins with your own self–discipline and your own focus. Leadership brings followers and without followers, you are simply going for a stroll. Leadership provides vision and leaves legacies. To be a leader you need to be the change that you want to be. Leaders change lives and move societies.
In these podcasts, we will learn from the best, the very best. Recipes for success, behaviours to model and practical tips from some of our best business leaders, our most successful coaches and the World’s leading thought leaders.
The Inspiring Leadership Podcast is produced by gunnercooke llp, the professional services firm that has changed the landscape for legal and consultancy services in the 21st century.

Professor Geoffrey Jones: The Body Shop, Cadbury and the leadership paradox behind every brand
What does it really mean to lead a “deeply responsible” business?
In this eye-opening episode, Darryl Cooke speaks with Professor Geoffrey Jones of Harvard Business School, a global authority on business history and values-driven leadership.
Geoffrey’s book Deeply Responsible Business explores the rare but remarkable leaders who built profitable companies without compromising their values.
In this conversation, he reveals why most corporate social responsibility is little more than performance, how brands like The Body Shop rose and fell, why some values-led businesses thrive while the system destroys others, and what leaders can do today to resist the relentless tide of short-termism.
