Reverend (Group Captain) Ruth Hake is the Royal Air Force’s Deputy Chaplain in Chief. 


Here she shares her remarkable journey to becoming a Royal Air Force padre; not least her reticence to be a vicar. Ruth discusses the unique role of chaplains in the Armed Forces and their vital work to provide pastoral and spiritual support.   


Ruth reflects on the value of appropriate vulnerability; something that Gemma Morgan also discussed in Episode 6 (“Captain Morgan’s lost her marbles” Link below). She discusses culture change, the difficulty of challenge and how best to do this. 


Finally, Ruth reminds us to think about how we make our people feel and the impact and power of an apology. 


Join Ruth and Lindsay MacDuff as they ruminate on leading well with care and compassion.
