Episode 24: Will Greenwood MBE and Ben Fennell - Teamship and High-performance

The Centre for Army Leadership Podcast

In the latest episode of the CAL Podcast, we are joined by two best friends, who have performed at the very top of international sport and business, and have come together to co-author 'World Class: How to Lead, Learn and Grow Like a Champion'. For over ten years, Ben Fennell was the CEO of global advertising agency 'Bartle Bogle and Hegarty' and has now created 'The Growth House', a leadership and teamship consultancy to help organisations grow. Meanwhile, his best friend Will Greenwood MBE, is an England rugby legend, earning 55 caps for England and 2 for the British & Irish Lions, to this day is still the third-highest English try scorer of all time. In this insightful and passionate episode, Ben and Will discuss the importance of mentoring and its role in maximising potential, how leaders must generate a learning culture, and they speak candidly about pushing themselves to the point of failure and, most importantly, what they have learnt from the experience.

A fascinating insight into the world of high-performance.
