What We Don't Know Podcast

Show Notes

In a world that feels increasingly chaotic and uncertain, what does leadership really look like - and what do even the most experienced leaders still not know?

Hosted by Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE and Matt Brittin, What We Don’t Know explores the realities of leadership today. Having both recently stepped down from major roles, they reflect on their own experiences while speaking with extraordinary guests from business, politics, technology and beyond.

Together, they unpack the moments that shape leaders: crises, difficult decisions, unexpected lessons, and the questions that don’t always have easy answers.

From negotiating with world leaders to navigating corporate chaos (and even finding lessons in nature), this podcast explores the human side of leadership - what works, what doesn’t, and what we’re all still figuring out.

Follow the show and join the conversation as we explore the biggest question of all: what don’t we know about leadership yet?
