What are the key pillars of leadership, according to Ben Stokes?

The England Test star spoke candidly about his approach to captaincy in an in-depth chat with fellow cricketer Stuart Broad and presenter Josh Denzel - exclusively on The Athlete's Voice by 4CAST.

Referring to the players he now leads, Stokes said:  "They know me. They know me as a player, they know me as a person.

"So the most important thing for me to start off with was that everything I do needs to be 'me', it needs to be completely and utterly 'myself'.

"Because people will see straight through me if I'm trying to be something I'm not."
