#388 Forensic Leadership & The Traces we leave behind with Paul Kinkaid

Pete Wakefield Season 5 Episode 388

“Every contact leaves a trace.”
 That’s not just a principle from forensic science, it’s a profound truth about leadership, about life, and about the influence we carry every day, often without realizing it.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Kinkaid former senior British Army officer, global speaker, bestselling author, and Executive Leadership Coach to explore what he calls Forensic Leadership. Paul brings a lifetime of experience leading elite teams in the most challenging environments across 44 countries, and now works with high-performing leaders and teams who know they're doing well… but believe they can do better.

What if the legacy of your leadership isn’t found in KPIs or formal appraisals, but in the invisible marks you leave on the people around you?

What if, in every conversation, meeting, or moment of silence you were leaving red traces or green ones?

So as you listen today, ask yourself:
Are you leading with intention or simply reacting?
Are you leaving behind green traces or red ones?
And more importantly… would you follow you?

This is a conversation that may not give you all the answers but it will challenge you to ask better questions.
