Sian and Laura hadn’t worked closely before, but what followed was a leap into co-leadership, built not on history, but on possibility, mutual respect, and a shared ambition to do things differently.In this episode, we unpack what it means to lead one of the country’s most influential media businesses through ambiguity, feedback, and cultural change, while resisting the urge to homogenise what makes each market, and each leader, unique.Here’s what we get into:• How to lead as two, and make space for more than just each other• Why radical trust is more important than shared history• What co-CEOs learn when they swap structure for stretch• Why you can’t control culture, but you can empower it• The difference between having a job and building a careerIf you’ve ever wondered what leadership could look like when it’s co-created, this one’s for you.
