Jennifer Allen and Sofia Liasi are more than just a team. Together, they’ve created the culture and structures that enable teams to work with clarity, transparency and unity while enabling each member to bring their whole self to work.

In this episode of Clearer is Faster, we explore:

What clarity looks and feels like in the context of teamwork
The pinch points where clarity falls away in large organisations, and what they can do about it
How to build teams with clarity at their core, whether you’re working within a team or leading it

Sofia Liasi and Jennifer Allen are changing what leadership looks and feels like at one of the largest multinationals in their industry. They also deploy this entrepreneurial streak beyond the day job through their own ventures. As friends, colleagues and now business partners they think, live and breathe teamwork that's grounded in clarity – whether it's between themselves or in the teams they've co-developed.

Crafting clarity with Dr Eve Poole

We chat to the ever-invigorating Eve Poole, author of Leadersmithing, about why crafting clarity is essential in a VUCA world. We explore how we can craft clarity even in uncertainty, why it's a neverending process, and why leaders are made and not born.
Our conversation took place in the midst of UK lockdown, and we also reflect on clarity (or the lack thereof) in the Covid-19 crisis.
Dr Eve Poole is the Third Church Estates Commissioner for England, and Chairman of the Board of Governors at Gordonstoun. She has a BA from Durham, an MBA from Edinburgh, and a PhD in theology and capitalism from Cambridge. Her recent books are Leadersmithing, Capitalism’s Toxic Assumptions and Buying God.
