The Prepared Leader: From Crisis to Confidence
Team One Thinking: Rethinking Leadership for Real Resilience
What does real resilient leadership look like — especially when uncertainty isn’t a one-off crisis but a constant reality?
In this episode of The Prepared Leader, Helen Lipscombe is joined by Steve Rabson-Stark from Then Somehow, a leadership coach who works with organisations to unlock resilience through purposeful change. Together, they explore what makes leadership teams thrive — or quietly unravel — under pressure.
You’ll hear:
- Why psychological safety is non-negotiable
- How to break out of silo thinking with “Team One” leadership
- Why charismatic leaders can be resilience risks
- The importance of safe conflict, listening, and unfinished answers
- And why agile, imperfect action often beats perfect planning
“If no one’s speaking and everyone agrees all the time, you’re in big trouble.”
Whether you’re leading a university, a public service team, or a commercial organisation, this conversation will challenge your assumptions — and give you practical ways to lead with confidence, curiosity, and resilience.
