Never Too Far Gone https://nevertoofargone.podbean.com

The word “leadership” has become tired.


It’s been gentrified—repackaged as a job description, overselling its glamour whilst underselling its beauty.

Real leaders don’t chase titles. They stay in the hard places, where there’s pushback and limited resources. They endure the subtle and overt ridicule that comes with believing things can be different.

My podcast is for the weird and wonderful ones—the people who keep believing and keep building, even when the system seems designed to make them fail.

If that’s you, let’s be friends. Because the biggest threat to people like us is isolation. The second is never having the skills involved in rebuilding from the ground up taught to us, studied or recognised.

That’s why I created The Academy of Systemic Renewal: a place that champions the science of what we do.

In this episode Heather shares why she believes that external partners might offer quicker solutions, but it is almost always a false economy. She unpacks why she has chosen to focus her life on renewing long-established systems from within, assisting them to develop their own in-house solutions. Heather shares insights from Maria Mazzucato and Rosie Collington's research at UCL, into why an over-dependence on external advice creates a fear-driven economy in which actors lose the skill of learning.
