Purpose-led Leadership | Mark Bilton & Glen Hill
Some leaders carry a heavy load that most people never see. When you are leading in a complex organisation, relying on volunteers, donors, and partnerships, it can feel like you are always balancing purpose, pressure, and people.
In this episode, I sit down with Glen Hill, Director of National Engagement at Baptist World Aid.
Glen has led across international not-for-profit organisations and understands what it takes to lead with purpose, stay steady under pressure, and build trust when everything feels complex.

What This Conversation Is Really About
This vodcast is for leaders and professionals who want to lead with clarity and conviction, without losing the human side of leadership. Glen and I talk about what purpose-led leadership looks like in real life, especially when you are working in environments where outcomes take time, resources are tight, and people are giving their time because they care.
We unpack what it means to lead when the work matters deeply, but the path forward is not always simple. That includes how you keep people engaged, how you communicate vision without overcomplicating it, and how you make decisions that protect both the mission and the people doing the work.
Key Topics We Cover
• Purpose-led leadership in complex organisations
• Leading with clarity when outcomes take time
• Keeping volunteers engaged and valued
• Communication that people can understand and act on
• Building trust and alignment across teams and stakeholders
• Leading without burning out or losing perspective
