James talks to Warren about different types and styles of leadership he’s experiences, alongside holding ourselves and each other accountable to values.

Their conversation also reflects on what it means to lead within a community organisation, where performance matters - but its people matter more. It’s a thoughtful conversation about responsibility, perspective and leading in a way that leaves things better than you found them.

When Warren asked James Croker what advice he’d give his younger self, his answer was simple - and powerful.

“Get up. Make your bed. Do one thing.”

In the full episode, James shares more of his journey from the RAF to civilian life, the role of sport and community, and why values-led cultures matter more than ever.
