This week, I am joined by Jake Morrison. Jake is the Chief Executive at Citizens Advice Wokingham in Berkshire. At 18 he was the youngest elected politician in the UK joining Liverpool City Council in 2011 and working as a Member of Parliament at 19. He is open about living with mental ill-health, having Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, C-PTSD and ADHD.

His style of leadership is completely true and real. It’s almost beyond authentic leadership. This is leadership where you are showing up with how you are feeling. You're showing up with empathy and understanding, and you are also showing up with vulnerability and sharing the truth of what's going on for you. And that's when you are at your most powerful because you set that as a culture, you create that role model for everyone else in your organisation.

 

Here are the highlights:
