Work's Not Working... Let's Fix It!
Work’s Not Working… Let’s Fix It is a podcast from The People Space exploring how work is being reinvented – and what that means for HR, leaders and organisations navigating constant change.
Hosted by award-winning journalist Siân Harrington, the show examines why so many traditional ways of working are breaking down, from job design and leadership to performance, culture and the role of AI.
Through conversations with forward-thinking people leaders, innovators and academics, each episode tackles one clear problem facing work today – and surfaces the ideas, evidence and practical thinking needed to build something better.
This is where future fit HR thinking is tested in public, connecting human-centred work, AI-augmented roles and new ways of organising to the realities leaders face now.

Work's Not Working... Let's Fix It!
Leadership is Broken. Creativity is the Answer: Rama Gheerawo
Everything we are taught about leadership today is wrong, says Rama Gheerawo. Traditional models of leadership are broken and outdated. We need more creative leadership – leadership that speaks the language of business but also the language of humanity. That is more empathetic, expansive and communal rather than outdated frameworks driven by the tired rhetoric of management and business run on the whole by men. In this episode we discuss how we can fix leadership.
Rama is an international and inspirational figure within design and was named a 2018 Creative Leader by Creative Review alongside Paul Smith and Björk. Now Director of the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, he uses design to address issues around age, ability, gender and race. He sits on a number of advisory boards and committees for awards, universities and organisations such as the UK Design Council, The International Association for Universal Design, the Design Management Institute, The Bhavan Institute for Indian Culture and the RSA Decolonising Design Initiative.
