Welcome back for a new season! In this episode, for only the second time in Leadership Letters history, we have co-founders joining us on the podcast and sharing why two heads really are better than one. Stephanie Otty and Jamie Fletcher founded Radio News Hub in 2014 having met at Sky Sports News Radio. Radio News Hub provides news bulletins to over 400 radio stations across the UK and beyond.

During our conversation, we talked about:

• The power of two
• When to step in and when to step back
• Maintaining standards without micromanaging
• Alignment on mission and vision
• Hearing, using and filtering feedback
• Conversation vs disagreement
• Constant dialogue
• Nurturing long lasting relationships
• Learning from those around you
• The importance of taking a break

THEIR LETTER + QUOTES

Steph and Jamie’s letter combined words of gratitude and appreciation for former employees with an invitation to stay connected, noting that to honour the past and to ensure continued success that it is crucial to put ‘people at the heart of everything you do.’

“We talk openly with people about what they want to achieve and how we can help them achieve that.”

+

“I’ve always likened it to running a marathon. You need someone to run with who is experiencing the peaks and troughs at different times.”

+

“Your contribution left a lasting impression.”

+

“Because we have the constant conversations we come to the conclusions naturally because we’ve talked it through at length.”

+

“People are you best PR.”

+

“Everybody I meet I like to learn and take something from them.”

+

“Switch off at some point. You don’t always have to consuming.”

On our sister podcast, Towards Leadership, we will look in more detail at tools, reflections and practical application of the ideas, insights and inspiration we get from our guests on Leadership Letters. An episode focused on Jamie and Steph’s insights will be coming soon. If you are already subscribed to Leadership Letters, look out for it in your podcast feed.
