E35 - Guests: Bishop Graham James, Former Bishop of Norwich

Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

This episode is being published on Easter Sunday 2024 so an interview with a senior figure in the Church of England seemed highly appropriate, and I am delighted that my guest for this episode is Bishop Graham James, the former Bishop of Norwich.
Bishop Graham and I first met back in 2001 when I had the privilege of flying him in a Jaguar from RAF Coltishall, where I was the Officer Commanding Number 6 Squadron at the time. He is a really lovely and very inspirational man who has had a fascinating life journey and I am sure you will find his story extremely interesting. Not only does he describe his own journey as a leader with great candour, but he also offers some terrific insights on a wide range of issues along the way. Enjoy!
In this interview we cover the following topics (starting time in brackets):

• Bishop Graham's career journey (00.03.04)
• Early motivations (00.13.01)
• Advice to a school aged Graham (00.18.05)
• Changes to leadership style (00.24.54)
• The Church & politics (00.37.45)
• Leadership traits and values (00.41.01)
• Role models (00.47.10)
• Highs & lows (00.50.35)
• Work : life balance (01.02.58)
• Challenges for the Church of England (01.07.37)
• Most memorable event (01.15.15)
• Most difficult question (01.17.41)
• An Easter message! (01.19.16)
