Oh, My Sweet America

This week on Timeless Leadership, the topic is Entrepreneurship. 

Even in the most conventional of ivory towers, leaders need to exhibit some form of entrepreneurship.  Initiative, integrity, creativity, courage, and a number of other factors come together to form what’s needed for the entrepreneurial spirit.  

Freddie Laker, CEO of Chameleon Collective is an inveterate entrepreneur and is our guest this week on Timeless Leadership.

"Amongst the many wonders of the Australian outback is the beauty of its birdsong.

In arid mulga woodland country, the first birdsong is sparse, with a Willy Wagtail, Hooded Robins and Spotted Nightjar calling in the darkness. A White-fronted Honeyeater then begins singing; a charismatic cadence of metallic sounds, soon joined by another and the two sing a spectacularly choreographed duet.

Eventually a rich chorus of birdsong evolves, among it the liquid tones of Crested Bellbirds, the low booming of Bronzewing Pigeons, and ethereal songs of Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush.

This un-edited recording allows you to experience the outback dawn in all its magic."

With James Naughtie. Recorded at the BBC at the Edinburgh Festivals, Allan Massie discusses his novel A Question of Loyalties. First published in 1989, the book is widely acclaimed as his finest.

The novel engages with all the complexities and ambiguities of loyalty and nationality as it follows a family through the divisions in France during World War II, and the repercussions which last for decades. 

In the early 1950s Etienne de Balafré strives to find out what happened to his father when the German invasion of 1940 divided the country between collaboration and resistance. Where some might see an accomplice, the author Allan Massie seeks to understand a human being making difficult choices.

As always on Bookclub, a group of especially invited readers join in the discussion.

BAFTA winning Director Ken Loach joins us for What make us Human. Feb 21, 2017

Ken Loach: What make us Human?

It's a workday, just after lunch. You have a deadline and there's plenty of time left in the day to get the task done. If only you could stop thinking about other things. One thought can lead to your mind just...wandering away. This can't be good, right? You've probably been scolded as a kid for daydreaming in class. But in recent years, neuroscientists and psychologists have found that there are some very redeeming qualities to this mental state - in fact, it could be an essential cognitive skill. Here's an excerpt from an interview conducted with one of those researchers.
