Here in the UK many of you will now be aware of what some call the largest miscarriage of justice in British legal history, the Post Office Scandal. Since the early 2000s Hundreds of postmasters and mistresses were wrongfully prosecuted for fraud and theft when in fact it was all due to a faulty IT system named Horizon. Some have had their convictions overturned, but for many more the long road to justice continues, and in the meantime it has left thousands of lives ruined.
In today's episode we explore the state of leadership across both Fujitsu and The Post Office itself. Questioning what led leaders to deny problems, or in many cases to simply hide and obfuscate the truth. We cover everything from leadership culture, to ethics and we ask what would have happened if leaders had demonstrated Agile leadership characteristics instead?
