Alpana Malde from St Luke’s Hospice appears in Leaders Council podcast

The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is currently in the process of talking to leadership figures from across the nation in an attempt to understand this universal trait and what it means in Britain and Northern Ireland today.

Alpana Malde, Chief Executive at St Luke’s Hospice, was invited onto an episode of the podcast, which also included an interview with Sir Andrew Strauss. Host Scott Challinor asked both guests a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in their careers to date.

Alpana shared her own leadership approach, and how St Luke’s responded to the Covid-19 crisis and its devastating impact on the hospice sector. She said: “It was an honour to speak to the Leaders Council about the impact of the pandemic the challenges we will continue to face in these uncertain times.”

Scott Challinor commented: “Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.”

Lord Blunkett, chairman of The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland said: “I think the most informative element of each episode is the first part, where Scott Challinor is able to sit down with someone who really gets how their industry works and knows how to make their organisation tick. Someone who’s there day in day out working hard and inspiring others. That’s what leadership is all about.”
