Reading and Leading
A Question of Behaviours
In our work developing modern leaders, the conversation often starts with behaviours. Which will matter most in helping people and organisations to succeed?
That’s what we’ll be exploring in our magazine — in print and, here, online – sharing stories from the workplace frontline, welcoming expertise and looking laterally for insights you can test with your own team today. It’s an invitation to read and lead well, and we can't wait to extend it fully.

Shamil Thakrar’s describes how an unconventional approach to leadership blending storytelling, culture and a healthy dose of “weirdness” has led to a restaurant empire with a soul.
For Thakrar, leading well begins with authenticity and understanding how to harness his strengths. It took time (and coaching) for him to realise his passion for storytelling wasn’t a distraction, but a driving force behind his business’s success.
Knowing how you learn best
A conversation with Dr. Camilla Pang reveals what neurodivergence teaches us about how to work more productively, as well as make better decisions.
Pang is the youngest and first woman of colour to win the Royal Society Science Book Prize. At 27, she received the award for her debut book, Explaining Humans, in 2020. Recently, she launched a Substack called Dates With Divergence. In her latest book, Breakthrough, Pang uses scientific thinking to tackle life’s uncertainties. She draws on insights from top scientists to help readers find opportunity in failure and the unknown, fostering a mindset that sparks discovery and innovation in all areas of life.
