This week on Add This To Your Playlist, we’re sharing Courage Inc., a podcast produced by The Walrus Lab in collaboration with Deloitte.
Each episode is a long conversation with someone who’s responsible for a big, often slow-moving organization — and who’s trying to change how it works from the inside. Past guests include Teresa Resch, Stephen Poloz, Andre De Grasse, and Hope Muir, with upcoming conversations featuring leaders like James Moore, Ranjay Gulati, Michael Lee Chin, and Alex Munter.
That same approach carries through to the episode we’re sharing today with Admiral Angus Topshee, Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy. The conversation moves from big-picture questions about Canada’s defence and role in the world to very practical issues around recruiting, retention, and housing—without pretending there are simple fixes.
If you’re interested in hearing how people in charge of large systems think through hard problems in real time, Courage Inc. is worth adding to your feed.
