Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:47:49 GMT

Chris Mullin shares his insights into the leadership traits behind some of the UK's most successful Prime Ministers. Chris has enjoyed a fascinating career comprising of journalism, advising Tony Benn, editing Tribune, writing novels, campaigning for the release of the Birmingham Six, serving as a Labour Member of Parliament for 23 years, chairing the influential Home Affairs Select Committee, being a government minister, and most recently as a much admired diarist of the New Labour years. These experiences have given Chris a ring-side seat from where he has observed many leaders, and how they handled difficult situations and, more generally, exercised power. Chris reflects on leaders he has observed and the lessons that can be gleaned from his life in politics. He will also discuss key issues facing society and make a case for the importance of politics and public service in an age of mistrust and scepticism.
