What does it really take to lead at the highest level? And do you need to be the loudest voice in the room to make the biggest impact?

In this week’s episode of Empowering Leaders, we’re joined by Arsenal Women's captain, Scottish international and Champions League winner Kim Little, to explore the power of quiet, authentic leadership.

With an extraordinary career spanning almost two decades, Kim shares how humility, consistency and leading by example have shaped her journey; from joining Arsenal at just 17, to captaining the club to European glory in 2025.

Kim reflects on finding her own leadership style as a natural introvert, building trust through actions rather than words, and recognising that great teams need different personalities and strengths. She also opens up about navigating setbacks, maintaining perspective through challenging times, the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, and why giving others your time is one of the most meaningful things you can do as a leader.

…

We’re so proud to have Kim as a member of our Aleda Connect leadership program.
