The Entitlement Endemic: Boarding School To The Boardroom | AEM #142 Collette Easton | Piers Cross
Manage episode 510307360 series 3438909
What happens when the patterns of boarding school shape the boardroom?
In this episode, I speak with Collette Easton — former CEO, executive coach, and author of Manager. Collette shares her journey from boarding school and the RAF, to building digital businesses, and now helping leaders overcome toxic patterns that hold them back.
We discuss:
- The impact of boarding school on leadership styles
- Why some CEOs unconsciously recreate authoritarian environments
- The difference between “managing” and leading with compassion
- How psychological safety and EQ fuel business growth
- Practical steps to shift out of stress, defensiveness, and finger-pointing
If you’ve ever wondered why so many leaders struggle with empathy — or how to build healthier organizations — this conversation will give you tools, hope, and fresh perspective.
