Tim Mitchell, Chief People Officer at the Institute of Cancer Research, joins Felix to talk about what it takes to build a workplace where different ways of thinking aren't just accepted - they're essential. As a parent of a neurodiverse child and executive sponsor for disability at work, Tim brings both a personal and professional lens to the conversation. They dig into why encouraging mistakes leads to better outcomes, how ICR is rethinking performance frameworks for a research environment, and why creating psychological safety isn't at odds with high performance - it's the foundation of it.
