Episode #7: Change Needs Leaders - With David Smith Collins

This weeks podcast features David Collins, whose strong reputation as an innovative change leader stems from his days in the police service - where he rose to the rank of acting Deputy Chief Constable. David is now a successful leadership consultant and executive coach based in Bahrain. David draws on all of these experiences to consider how organisations can become more future proof and how leaders can maintain agency and resilience to inspire successful change.  The podcast explores many of the practical challenges – personal and organisational – that often get in the way of the effective delivery of change projects. It also touches on David’s experience of swimming against the cultural tide and the importance of turning structures on their heads to take everyone with you towards a goal. David is an authentic leader with the experience of leading 1000’s of staff through change processes, and it is this experience that Neil is determined to tease out to inform the 91 Untold Change Project.
