Leadership and the Future of Cities

What is required of civic leaders in tough times?

Stoke-on-Trent has been one of the UK cities hardest hit by the recession and its aftermath.

In Oct 2011, 2020Plus co-sponsored a leadership event for civic and business leaders in the city. Leadership speaker and social futurist Mal Fletcher outlined what might be needed to rejuvenate a culture of innovation across the city.

Mal discusses what is required of leaders in tough times in this interview for BBC Radio Stoke. Note: this excerpt is part of a longer, pre-recorded interview and was edited for time by the BBC.
