Do you work for a corporate psychopath – would you know if you did?

A lack of empathy, avoiding responsibility and superficially charming – these are some of the traits identified by our guest, business psychologist Andy Whitehead.

Andy tells us how to spot the signs – and what to do if your boss fits the profile of a corporate psychopath.

And for anyone who matches the description of a toxic boss, you may not recognise yourself, as a lack of self-awareness is another clue. But listening to this episode is the first step to gaining that self-awareness and becoming a better manager.

Hosts Juliette Kumar and Caroline Kenyon speak with coaching psychologist Dr Rachael Skews about psychological flexibility in leadership. Rachael explains how acceptance and commitment—skills that can be developed—are essential for achieving long-term goals. She shares practical insights on recognising difficulties, committing to what matters, and helping individuals and organisations perform at their best.

In the NHS, improving workplace culture is vital to providing a safe environment for patients. If staff are too scared to speak up when something goes wrong, it can endanger the lives of people in their care.

That's why culture is so important to the Health Services Safety Investigations Body, who are brought in when there are concerns about patient safety.

Their interim Chief Executive Dr Rosie Benneyworth tells us why investing in patient safety saves lives – and ultimately saves money.

Rosie is in conversation with Caroline Kenyon.
