Sarina Wiegman: Leadership, failing, and...

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

Sport should unite people; that’s what England women’s football coach Sarina Wiegman believes, and it’s something she achieved when the Lionesses won the Euros in 2022.

 

In this chat with Fearne, Sarina explains that succeeding at a high level is important because it provides a platform to drive meaningful cultural change. She also talks about why a good leader should be empathetic to the individual characters of those they’re managing, and why clarity – being clear and honest in communication – is a key value of hers.

 

Sarina’s book, What it Takes: My Playbook on Life and Leadership, is out on the 9th November.
