Sir Tony Blair and Dylan Jones: on leadership, negotiation & executive action in government
Listen now
Description
In this special episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of a conversation between the London Standard’s Editor in Chief, Dylan Jones, and former UK Prime Minister, Sir Tony Blair. He discusses themes in his book, On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century (which is published by Penguin), and the lessons that can be learned from executive action in government. The book looks at the importance of assembling the right team, effective implementation of policy, and what works and what doesn’t. So, how was negotiation key to securing the Good Friday Agreement, devolution and London mayoralty, and what would the former prime minister have done differently? You’ll also hear discussion on digital ID, the Middle East crisis and if Sir Tony would offer Sir Keir Starmer any advice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
