Richard Hoyle: A Life in Leadership

In this episode, Richard Britton sits down with Richard Hoyle—a former British Army officer whose leadership journey has taken him from military command through global enterprise sales, to the world of psychological insight and reflective practice. Along the way, Hoyle has integrated influences from Jungian psychology, Buddhist philosophy, and decades of hands-on leadership experience.

Together they explore how leadership evolves over a lifetime: from task and discipline, to trust, presence, and purpose. Richard shares stories from the Army mess room to the executive boardroom—reflecting on how people truly grow, what makes teams thrive, and why culture is shaped in the quiet, human moments.

They dig into how different personalities experience stress, how ego can quietly derail leaders, and why creativity often begins by staring out the window. This is a conversation about learning, listening, and leading with real attention.

A rich, reflective episode on the practical and personal sides of leadership.
