283 Sailing into the hurricane - Manley Hopkinson's unique leadership journey

Manley Hopkinson sailed into a hurricane and not only lived to tell the tale but emerged with his team of amateur sailors stronger, more confident and more determined than ever. A born adventurer, Manley has served in the British Navy and the Hong Kong Police, skippered a crew in the world's toughest yacht race and won the first skiing race to the Magnetic North Pole. But he is not drawn to these experiences for the accolades. Manley is compelled to create teams capable of achieving great things - turning those first time sailors into fearsome mariners for example - and does this through first understanding each individual and their motivations. Manley is the author of Compassionate Leadership: How to Create and Maintain Engaged, Committed and High-Performing Teams and in this episode, shares why leadership starts with self-compassion, gaining commitment and aligning interests.
