A year in business: Reviewing 2024

Graham Ruddick, Sarah Vizard and Dougal Shaw get together to discuss what they have learned in 2024 and their top business tips

In this special episode of the Business Leader Podcast, Graham Ruddick, Sarah Vizard and Dougal Shaw get together to discuss what they have learned in 2024 and their top business tips.

This includes:

  • The healthy paranoia that drives successful business leaders
  • How to really be authentic at work and why it matters
  • Why you should seek to operate below full capacity to perform at your best and why trying to give 110 per cent effort is a management myth
  • Why the biggest challenge for a business is not overcoming a crisis but the mundane day-to-day grind of just executing your plan
  • The importance of not just hiring people smarter than you but listening to them

Featuring Simon Arora of B&M, record-breaking cyclist Mark Beaumont and restaurant chain Hawksmoor
