What really makes a great leader? Andy Bird breaks it down with powerful insights and real-life lessons. Leadership isn’t just about getting things done—it’s about transformation. He reveals the three keys: Purpose (what change are you driving?), Partnership (how do you bring people with you?), and Performance (can you deliver results?). But here’s the twist—not all leaders start with purpose. Some find it through collaboration.

Bird shares hard-earned lessons from his own journey—how he struggled to engage his team until he realised he was pushing his vision, not theirs. The game changed when they co-created a shared purpose, and suddenly, people weren’t just showing up—they were all in. He took the same approach to company culture, proving that listening, acting on feedback, and ditching top-down control can create an unstoppable team.

But what about bad leadership? Bird exposes the biggest mistake leaders make—creating fear. Fear of failure, fear of speaking up. Great leaders challenge people, but they also support them. The best leaders inspire not by being perfect, but by being real. They listen, they adapt, and they set the tone for success. If you want to lead with impact, you don’t just need to watch this—you need to live it.
