In our brand new show, The Captain welcomes former England cricket captain Sir Andrew Strauss to join him at his picnic table to discuss his experiences of leadership on and off the field. And we discover his favourite Picnic items - kindly provided by Fortnum & Mason. This show is sponsored by TTB Sport.

Sir Andrew Strauss is the former Captain of the England cricket team which he led to become the number one team in the world for the first time in England's history. He then became England's Director of Cricket and he's recognized as the architect of the country's first ever one day World Cup victory. In 2019, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to charity, sport, and cricket. Being captain of a cricket team requires the same skills needed to run a business. Amplified. Managing world class talent while your work is being broadcast, and your success and failures, both personal and collective, are being recorded, analyzed and critiqued in real time, requires a range of rare skills and temperament. Unlocking the potential of others while taking responsibility for the outcome is at the heart of the attributes required for the job. Andrew and I met in London a few days ago, and as you'll hear, our conversation covered a lot of ground, both professional and the deeply personal. From his achievements to the loss of his wife. By the time Andrew Strauss turned 33, he'd achieved what every cricket fan in England grows up dreaming of. Captaining your country to victory in Australia. In my lifetime, it has only happened three times. Seven years later, he lost his wife to cancer. Most of us do not achieve so much so young. Nor lose so much so early. For Andrew, the combination has encouraged him to ask questions of himself earlier in his life than most people do. Unlocking creativity in others means building trust with those around us. They want to know who we are and what matters to us. Fulfilling our own potential means answering those same questions. And in my experience, that happens when we ask ourselves this. What else do I want to know about myself? Most leaders strive for success relentlessly, head down, and only later do we take stock of the choices we've made. How will you judge if you've lived a good life or not? What else do you want to know about yourself?

Join us as we dive into the mind of Sir Andrew Strauss, one of England's greatest cricket captains. From leading his team to Ashes glory twice to navigating the highs and lows of elite sport, Strauss shares powerful insights on leadership, resilience, and life beyond the game. This is a conversation about more than runs and wickets—it's about legacy, culture, and what it truly means to thrive under pressure.Show Notes:"Cricket requires players to accept the randomness of fate - a hard pill for perfectionists."Three key takeaways:Resilience and adaptability in elite sport: even the top batsmen in cricket go through periods of poor form and this can take a mental toll on players: "Batsmen must be philosophical. You fail more often than you succeed, and you have to price that in." Developing coping mechanisms and a mindset to manage these ebbs and flows is keyImportance of team culture: "Athletes thrive when they feel cared for and supported. If they feel cared for, they'll forgive many of your weaknesses as a leader." A strong culture and the importance of balancing family life with cricket are critical – particularly when some players are away 300 days a yearLeadership: the role of leadership is to balance the needs of individual with collective goals. "You can't afford to let everyone do exactly what they want, but successful teams allow for individuality within a shared framework"Please leave a review if you like the podcast; and share with friends.

Nick is the grandson of the great Dennis, but a very fine 1st class cricketer in his own right playing for Middlesex, Somerset and 16 tests for England scoring 2 centuries in that time.Nick wrote his memoir 'Legacy' just last year and it is a moving, poignant, searingly honest, at times harrowing story of someone who was supremely talented at his craft, but for whom it became too all consuming and challenged Nick's mental health to the edge of his survival.

Welcome to episode 10 of The Privileged Man podcast with Sir Andrew Strauss. Straussy was a legendary England Cricket Captain becoming one of only three Englishmen to win the ashes both in England and Australia. I start off the podcast getting in as much cricket trivia as possible before settling into a deeper conversation on how Andrew dealt with the tragically early death of his beloved wife Ruth and the legacy it ultimately and stunningly created through the Ruth Strauss Foundation. Andrew's openness and vulnerability to talk about his grief is remarkably courageous and I'm hugely grateful too him for coming on the podcast and modelling this type of leadership.

Today's guests are Mo Bobat, Performance Director of the England and Wales Cricket Board, and Omar Chauduri, Chief Intelligence Officer of Twenty First Group.The topic is high performance and its fundamental link to the commercial success of sport. Mo and Omar's teams worked extensively together on the ECB's new High Performance Review, chaired by former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss. This aims to improve the quality of both the domestic structure and the men's national side, aided by an advisory board including Sir Dave Brailsford and Dan Ashworth, former FA Performance Director. The review made 17 proposals, each seeking to focus attention on the difficult question of What It Takes To Win (WITTW). You can read the review HERE. But the performance conversation is often put into a silo, and treated separately from the commercial side of sport. As we'll hear in this episode, that's a mistake. This conversation, more than anything, is about the product of sport, what's the difference between a successful sport's tournament, event or team, and the rest. How does performance data help create entertaining teams and events? What's the commercial value of jeopardy?These are questions which drive everything; from fan engagement through to media rights income, sponsorship revenue and other forms of investment. The conversation took place at the Clerkenwell offices of Twenty First Group in London against the backdrop of England's progress at the ICC T20 World Cup taking place in Australia. You'll hear us reference a previous podcast with Ed Smith, recorded at Leaders London in October. That's available along with 276 other episodes in the Unofficial Partner back catalogue, accessible via the website, Apple, Spotify, Google or your usual podcast app.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Interview with  ex England cricket captain Sir Andrew Strauss

In this episode Clemmie speaks to the English Cricket legend Andrew Strauss about his experience with loss and grief, after losing his wife Ruth Strauss in 2018. He introduces a concept of 'doing death well' which was incredibly important for Ruth before she died. And so they wonder - what would "doing grief well" look like? Andrew says: "it baffles me that it's not more of an open conversation, that there's not more social norms about what grieving is." We couldn't agree more. It's more conversations like this, with national heroes and your next-door neighbour that will crack this subject open so we can create a healthy, open culture about something we will all go through.

Series 2 has landed! We certainly took our time. Woodsy & Kdog have started where they left off and managed to bag a Knight. One of the top names in cricket, Sir Andrew Strauss. Andrew talks about his wife's foundation, his links to Oxfordshire and playing for England.

The second cricketing knight comes to the podcast to start our new series here on The Shackles Are Off, and what a legend he is too... Sir Andrew Strauss is a giant of the game, and was at the helm for arguably one of the best moments for England in cricketing history.  Here he talks 10/11 Ashes (obviously!!), as well as his own cricketing journey, tells a few great tales... and more importantly talks about the upcoming #RedForRuth day, which celebrates and raises money for the Foundation that was set up in memory of his late wife Ruth Strauss.  The death of a parent can be one of the most traumatic events experienced by a child in their lifetime. Especially when children are unprepared and unaware of the impending death, this can negatively impact their psychosocial wellbeing. Get involved and help us by spreading the word on social media. We are here to help families facing grief and you can help us, help them. Ready to turn #RedforRuth and for the families that need our support?

My series finale of season 5 is with legend Sir Andrew Strauss. We sat down to chat about Andrew's stellar career, which saw him lead England to Ashes victory. We also chatted about how important it is to put family first. We chatted about the founding of the Ruth Strauss Foundation, following the tragic passing of his late wife to lung cancer. Andrew explained to me the importance of putting family first, and remembering that work and jobs do not define who you are, your relationships with family and friends are what you should cherish.

In early 2018, Ruth Strauss, wife of Sir Andrew Strauss, was diagnosed with an incurable lung cancer that affects non-smokers. Ruth died later that same year; she was 46 years old and mother to two children, then aged 10 and 13. In her memory, Sir Andrew set up the Ruth Strauss Foundation (RSF). Ruth’s vision and, therefore, our mission, is to ensure that every family with a child facing the death of a parent has access to professional emotional support to prepare the family for the future. In addition, we are driving the need for more research & collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers, to which Ruth ultimately lost her life. In this bonus episode of Headstrong, I sat down with Deepa Doshi and Karina Murtagh of the Ruth Strauss Foundation to learn more about why the charity was founded, what important work they do and what we can do as members of the public to do more.

Andrew is amongst the most successful and lauded England cricket captains of all time, and one of only three men to lead his country to Ashes Test series wins both home, and away. From a starting position of some disarray, his ability to engender trust and confidence in his England team led them all the way to the world number one ranking. The trust in his technique and ability saw him play 100 Test matches, and amass more than 7000 Test runs with a batting average of more than 40, including 21 centuries. His spell as captain coincided with the managerial stint of Andy Flower, and together they forged a crucial bond of trust in each other, and transformed a disparate band of cricketers into a team of world beaters. In the latter part of his career, his trust in the players was put to the ultimate test by Kevin Pietersen. .........................................
