Today's guest is Nicholas Farhi, partner at OC&C Strategy Consultants. Nic has been with the firm for 20 years, and has a wide gamut of stories - most of them hilariously articulated - about his consulting and leadership experience.

The multi-faceted conversation covers a lot of ground, including:

• How to succeed in case interviews (hint: don't use jargon)
• The importance of letting your people take ownership for the business
• Why Nic turned down an offer to become CFO of KFC in the UK
• Which type of consulting is more fun: strategy or implementation
• The last time he properly danced
• And much more

Enjoy the episode, and share with a friend or colleague if you found value in it!
