Episode 10 - How was Churchill shaped by other leaders? (with David Reynolds, Emeritus Professor of International History at University of Cambridge)
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Trade Gothic Next',sans-serif;">Most of us think of Churchill as the uniquely-gifted warrior-leader who led the nation to victory in the Second World War. He is</span> <span style= "font-family: 'Trade Gothic Next',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"> the role-model for courageous leadership, pugnacious negotiation and brilliant communication. He is the archetypal big picture strategist.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Trade Gothic Next',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"> Winston Churchill was all these things, and more. However, in his new book <em>Mirrors of Greatness</em> historian David Reynolds, our leading expert on the two world wars and the Cold War, seeks to paint a more personal, nuanced portrait of Churchill in relation to other leaders by showing how he mirrored them, and they him. Explaining how Churchill was shaped, David discusses the key roles played by wartime allies Stalin and Roosevelt, political rivals Chamberlain and Attlee, enemies Hitler, Mussolini and Gandhi, and his influential leader-wife Clementine.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Trade Gothic Next',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"> Leadership-lessons from a great leader in his context.</span></p>

Steve draws on 25 years of working at board level in the private and public sectors to explain how to lead effectively when as CEO you answer to a board of medical experts. The priorities, Steve argues, are: to think of yourself as the head of the civil service working with the prime minister; being completely clear about who is accountable for what; and communication, communication, communication.</span></p>
