Episode description

Flat hierarchies, often celebrated because they’re great for employees. But what do they mean for leaders and L&D teams?

Ally Jones (Leadership Coach) and Chichi Eruchalu (Head of Leadership Development, Multiverse) are joined us live to answer that very question.

From why leaders are people we want to follow and leadership is a behaviour, not a title, to how we build high-trust cultures and self-management - we tackled a rarely-covered part of the flat hierarchy conversation.
