Continuing her latest podcast series, 'The Cost of Not', Hope Milne, Talent Practice Search Manager at Annapurna, sits down to talk to Roger Minton, Talent and Learning Leader, for an eye-opening conversation on the real business impact of Talent Leadership development programmes.
Roger reflects on his time at Anglo American, where he led the creation of a Group Leadership Development strategy. One of the most powerful tactics he shares is how he involved executive stakeholders in shaping the look, feel, and format of the programme.
This gave them a sense of ownership that ultimately protected the initiative from being deprioritised when budgets tightened and boosted its take-up amongst employees due to an unusual figure spearheading the initiative.
Throughout the episode, Roger explains why 'build-your-own' development cultures aren’t just a cost-saving measure, they're a long-term business strategy.
They help companies attract stronger talent at every level and, more importantly, retain it by making career progression within the organisation tangible and real.
Whether you're exploring how to launch your own leadership programme or simply want to hear from someone who's done it successfully, this episode offers actionable ideas and honest reflections that will challenge how you think about talent, growth, and retention.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
