In a special two-part episode of How They Lead by The West Peak, host Francesca Brand interviews Lawrence Clinton, Chief Operating Officer of Castor Vali, to unpack the critical role of leadership in achieving high performance. Drawing from his extensive experience in both the Royal Marines and corporate management, Lawrence highlights that effective leadership goes beyond simply providing direction; it requires creating the right cultural conditions for team cohesion and performance and then relinquishing control. “Good leaders try to make themselves redundant; they almost try to do themselves out of a job because they put the team first. They understand that the teams’ success is their success.”
His perspectives, shaped by years of experience in operational excellence and risk management, provide insights into how leaders can navigate uncertainty, adapt to change, and stay ahead of the competition.
