What makes a leader worth following? Sam McAlister, former Newsnight Producer and Author of Scoops, answers One Question.

Can we live in a world of compromise instead of cancel culture? 

Sam McAlister is a former news night producer and the orchestrator behind one of the most famous royal interviews of our time. Since leaving the BBC, Sam has written Scoop, which later became a Netflix hit and featured Billie Piper and Gillian Anderson. Sam has since switched media for academic and is a fellow at the London School of Economics. 

Sam joined Sarah to explore what it means to lead today through the lens of public broadcast media, leadership of ourselves, from curiosity to resilience, and how we can model the type of leadership we want to see in the next generation. 

An honest, insightful, and amusing conversation on what it really means to lead today.
