In this episode, we hear from Sara Burks, the Founder and Managing Director of Adaptis Limited. Sara excels in getting the best from people during transformational change through great leadership. Leadership often begins long before we have any formal understanding of what it means. Sara, discovered this when her school report stated: "Sara is a born leader. The problem is she leads people in the wrong direction." This early assessment followed her organising a sit-down strike during a netball tournament – a moment that sparked her lifelong exploration of leadership principles.Through her conversation with Nick MacKenzie, Sara reveals how these formative experiences shaped her journey from rebellious student to corporate board member at just 29. Sara believes purpose to be integral to resilience and the cornerstone of effective leadership – creating a sense of purpose that helps teams persevere through difficulties. Effective leadership isn't just about strategies or outcomes, but about connection, purpose, and the fulfilment that comes from helping others thrive.
