Are great leaders made by their charisma and ability or by the people who follow in their wake? Are there innate qualities in a leader that can't be learned? Join us for a look at the psychology behind leadership.
Winston Churchill recently topped a BBC poll to find the greatest Briton of all time. So what did he have that Nelson and Cromwell, numbers 9 and 10, didn't? Leaders exist in all realms of modern life, but it is those in the political world who are currently drawing the most attention. Ever wondered how Tony Blair reached the top of his party to become PM? Or how Margaret Thatcher got her reputation as the 'Iron Lady'? If you have ever questioned what it takes to become a leader, and why some people are more successful than others, then this event is for you. Join a panel and share your views.
