Episode notes

The company of the future needs to set itself up for success in order to change. Companies that want to be around in a hundred yearsa, not just five. If you don't deliver short performance whilst waiting for those trends to have an impact, often shareholders and other stakeholders are not patient. It is crazy just how fast the prices of about everything keep on rising. And all the expert were saying it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Today's episode comes from the How To Lead a Sustainable Business podcast, brought to you by Selfridges Group and Intelligence Squared. In the podcast, Alannah Weston, Chairman of Selfridges Group, speaks to inspiring leaders at the forefront of sustainability and business to find out what it takes to lead change and how businesses can put sustainability at their core.

She served as managing partner of McKinsey’s UK and Ireland offices from 2013-2020 and is a thought leader on productivity, leadership and diversity. She was previously named as one of the top ten “most influential black people in Britain” by the Powerlist Foundation, and The Financial Times identified her “one of the 30 most influential people in the City of London”.
