6: Ikigai and Your Higher Purpose

Gareth speaks with Ian Windle, author of recently-published book 'The Leadership Map' and co-host of the Gritty Leaders Club podcast.

As well as a deep-dive into several principles put forward in the book, Ian and Gareth discuss Ian's 2018 TEDx talk on having 'An Unreasonable Dream', the revelations that come from his work with business leaders in the Peer Advisory Group he chairs, and his admiration of Asian business culture, high-performing sportspeople and those who challenge the status quo.

Touching on numerous sources of leadership theory, this episode namechecks several inspiring books, such as :

• Blue Zones, by Dan Buettner
• Vivid Vision, by Cameron Herold
• Fear Less, by Dr Pippa Grange
