Welcome to another episode of The Thinking Leader podcast, brought to you by Red Team Thinking. Bad leaders react, good leaders plan, and great leaders think. Each week, Bryce and Marcus bring you actionable ideas and insights that you can use to think more strategically and lead more effectively so that you can better navigate your complex world.

In this episode, Bryce and Marcus are joined by friend and colleague Ellie Cloke, a retired RAF Wing Commander who leads Red Team Thinking's Diversity & Inclusion Practice. Ellie is a business and organizational Psychologist with a genuine curiosity for understanding how people think, feel and behave in the workplace and how this influences development of an organization and generates sustainable change. Ellie talks about how the RTT tools and techniques have allowed her to be heard – and listened to – as a woman and as a person of color. The trio also discuss:

• Discrimination and prejudice in the workplace
• How to make sure everyone's voice is heard
• The importance of creating diversity of thought
