Want to know the leadership traits recruiters are looking for in an interview? Or the secrets of organising a successful leadership event?

I cover all this and more in my latest podcast with Graeme Johnson, Group Director of Talent Leadership and Learning at Merlin Entertainments, the company behind visitor attractions and theme parks such as Legoland, Alton Towers, Cadbury World, Madame Tussauds and the London Eye.

Graeme’s career has evolved from attracting and recruiting talent to developing talent, taking in stints at Accenture, Virgin Media, BT Group, Entain and now Merlin Entertainments.

Graeme and I chat about:

• the secrets of a strong employer brand and value proposition
• the importance of showing your true culture - warts and all - to the outside world
• the leadership traits recruiters are looking for in job interviews
• the ingredients of a successful leadership event
• shifting the development focus from the top 10% to democratised learning
• and the importance of recruiting and developing neurodiverse talent
