What happens when the most powerful leadership role on Earth is filled without interviews, without a job ad… and without a single woman in the room?
In this episode of The Celebrity HR Department, we take a hard look at how the Pope gets hired — the secretive, centuries-old process known as the Papal Conclave — and ask what would happen if it played out in a modern UK workplace. Spoiler: HR would have a lot to say.
From unlawful discrimination to a total lack of transparency, Jon and Layman unpack why this sacred selection process would collapse under today’s employment laws — and what it reveals about bad leadership habits closer to home.
Whether you're into faith, fairness, or just fascinated by how power really works, this episode will make you think differently about the phrase "we’ve always done it this way."
