If you are ever interviewed for a job by Bill Hughes, the man at the helm of one of the biggest investment management firms in the UK, show some empathy and you might be in with a chance.
“The ones who read me the best are the ones who have thought what it’s like to be running a business. Not only do I find that more interesting but it makes people more valuable to me,” said the head of real assets at Legal & General Investment Management.
In EG’s Tomorrow’s Leaders podcast, Hughes, who leads a team responsible for £23bn worth of assets under management, shares his thoughts on the industry’s next crop of talent, the image the sector projects to the public, being insulted by the word "institutional" and more.

Years before Sarah Hayes was made partner at KPMG, she was growing up in Bodmin Moor with dreams of becoming a vet working with large animals.
Now, Hayes has spent the last 15 years at KPMG and was made partner in the real estate transaction services team in May. But, she tells EG’s Tomorrow’s Leaders Podcast: “I’ve not come the standard route.” She studied accounting and finance at the University of Plymouth where those around her doubted her future prospects.
She says: “I can remember being at university and being told that none of us would get into Big Four because you had to go to a better university. There’s a big part of me that would quite like to find that lecturer and stick my tongue out at him.”
In this podcast, Hayes speaks about being a role model to other women in the industry and the conversations property needs to be having around the diversity of thought. She also talks about her favourite dragon - not mentioning Game of Thrones once - and about the relative viciousness of horses versus ducks.
