Understanding the Unique Role of a Partnership Chair

In this episode of the ‘Pull up a Chair’ podcast, Bina Mehta speaks with Dame Sharon White, Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership; owner and operator of two of Britain’s best loved retail businesses, John Lewis and Waitrose.

Sharon became the Partnership's sixth Chairman in February 2020, after having moved from Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, where she served as Chief Executive from 2015.

Together, they explore John Lewis’ partnership model and its sustained significance in the face of a changing labour market, transformation and change – why it’s important to keep purpose in the centre and plan for the long-term – and why ‘connectivity’ is a defining characteristic of good leadership.
