Listen "Leadership lessons from the European Space Agency; the Premier League’s piracy purge"
Episode Synopsis
Leaders' Editorial Director James Emmett and Content Director David Cushnan are out and about at this week’s Leaders Sport Performance Summit, looking out over The Oval cricket ground in central London.They’re joined by astrophysicist Professor Carole Mundell, the Director of Science at the European Space Agency, fresh off a scintillating presentation on stage, for an outside-of-sport, out-of-this-world conversation on leadership and culture: making complex decisions, managing a multitude of stakeholders (a staff of 500 and perhaps as many as 46,000 people across ESA’s 22 member states), and clarity in communication. Plus what happens to black holes when they get indigestion and whether Pluto should feel hard done by for being downgraded to dwarf planet status.There’s also time for a rifle through the sports industry stories of the week, including Whoopi Goldberg’s new sports network, Barcelona and Nike staying together and the Premier League’s continuing efforts to crack down on piracy.
