• E253 That Great Business Show - Which businessman is 'An odious little sh*t'? - The CEO: The Rise and Fall of Britain’s Captains of Industry

  Title: Episode 253 – What CEO was referred to as an 'odious little shit'? No, it's not who you think it is.What makes a CEO? Vision, charisma, brilliance… or just a thick skin and a knack for corporate politics? On That Great Business Show, Episode 253, Conall O Móráin sits down with the authors of The CEO: The Rise and Fall of Britain’s Captains of Industry to dissect decades of boardroom drama, dodgy decisions, and the oversized egos that have shaped British business.Expect boardroom bloodsports, industrial hubris, and one rival CEO who famously branded his competitor “an odious little shit” (and no, we’re not making that up). And there's more...It’s a hilarious, sobering (the average FTSE 100 CEO earns the average UK wage by the 4th of January of any particular year), and brutally honest look at the people running the show—and what happens when they run it into the ground. If you're female and want to be a CEO, this is essential listening.BTW, after this, it might be worth having a look at your LinkedIn profile and maybe editing it!Their 'hires in a heartbeat'...Michael Aldous would like - Paul Polman, former CEO of UnileverJohn D. Turner's choice - Thomas Lipton, a merchant who created the Liptons brand.That Great Business Show is brought to you thanks to De Facto Shaving Oil, the world's best shaving oil. Hosted on Acast.

  E250UCD Smurfit Business School Podcast of the YearAine Kennedy and Billy Kennedy, of the Smooth Company. Aine is a Tik Tok queen, with millions and millions of views, with help from GRANDAD Billy.Aine doesn't hold back, she discusses her business journey, warts and all on her journey to 'world domination'.She's stocked in Brown Thomas having entered a competition with the store, but she lost. But won. She explains.Oh, she's looking for money, but only smart money...like Emma Grede, co-founder of wonderbrand, SkimsBilly wants to hire Marc Rieu, son of Andre Rieu, who between them have built a music empire.Working from home. Or not. It could be argued that law is about an interpretation of the rules, with the addition of precedent. COVID sent us all office workers home from where many still continue to work and wish to work. But once we saw the Biggies like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan telling their staff to get back to the office we knew the jig was up...it was going to be 'back to the office' for the rest. But is it? Peter Leonard is a barrister and co-presenter of The Fifth Court and he joins us to explain the very latest from the courts and more particularly the WRC, the Workplace Relations Commission, where these issues are thrashed out on a regular basis.His 'hire in a heartbeat', HouseMartin's Paul Heaton Hosted on Acast.
