Charles Leadbeater Master Class

Charles Leadbeater Master Class, 17th July 2014, Birmingham

Charles Leadbeater delivered the first in a series of five one day Master Classes for Leadership for Change participants from the first two cohorts on 17th July at the Studio in Birmingham.

The day was very interactive whereby Charles set the group three broad challenges facing Senior Leaders in the public sector and then shared his experience of some real life case studies where individuals or teams of people have successfully tackled some of these intractible issues.

The day was filmed and what follows is a series of short video’s that we hope will be of interest to those who were unable to attend or will serve as an aide memoire to those who did attend.

Video 1 – Introduction – In this section Charles sets the scene for the day and talks about why Systems Leadership is so important in the current climate. This culminates in Charles setting the group their first challenge around tackling violence amongst young men.
