In Episode 4 of Responsible, Navin Valrani opens up about something many leaders are taught to avoid: vulnerability.

As CEO of Arcadia Education, Valrani shares how embracing vulnerability has helped him grow as a leader, build trust within his organisation, and challenge traditional expectations of authority and strength. It’s a refreshing and deeply personal episode that reframes vulnerability not as a weakness—but as a core leadership asset.

Produced as part of a ten-part series for The Centre for Responsible Leadership at Imperial College Business School, Responsible continues to spotlight leaders who are reshaping how power, purpose, and integrity intersect.

If you missed Episode 3 with Cristiana Scelza, it’s another vital listen in this thoughtful series on leadership in action.
