What does the rise of Trump and the return of “strongman” politics mean for purposeful leadership? As they walk, Liam and David explore how power is exercised, and abused, in business. Liam the good liberal wrestles with doubt and disillusion; David argues for historical perspective and pragmatic hope. How do we stay human and courageous in a world that often rewards brute power over purpose?

A good mentor helps confront blind spots, test decisions before they become public mistakes, and talk about the parts of leadership you can’t discuss with your board, your team, or your family. Liam and David talk about their mentoring relationship and how to judge if the time and money spent is worth it. They explore trust, candour and vulnerability, the difference between coaching and mentoring (and if it matters) and if some leaders are uncoachable.
