Chris Brindley MBE joined me in episode 5 of the Infinite Pie Thinking podcast and shared his wealth of knowledge and experience on leadership, teamwork and culture. Chris worked in the banking industry for years, working his way up to senior leadership and Director roles, finishing as the Managing Director of Metro Bank and being voted Britain's Best Boss (amongst other awards). 

Chris now applies his skills and knowledge in the sports industry and is currently the Chairperson of the Rugby League World Cup Board and works to deliver sports and physical activity to the population of the North West of England. As a result he was aware and MBE in 2018 for his service to sport.

In this quick take away from the original conversation, Chris shares his perspective eon leadership and how we can create a collaboration culture in which everyone understands their role, and rather than just follow a process blindly, take responsibility and accountability for the part the play within it. 

I hope this gives you something to think about and of course if you want to hear more from Chris, you can always go back and listen to the whole episode. I will posting these short slice of pie episodes regularly, so maybe they will help you explore your perspective and thinking each day, and can help you to find ways to continue to improve your performance in whatever area you are focused on at the moment. 

I also hope you will feel free to reach out to me on over at  infinitepie.co.uk, or connect with me, Al Fawcett on LinkedIn, or follow  @infintiepiethinking on instagram, and let me know your key takeaways from the infinite pie thinking podcast and I will look to share them in the future.
