LOCAL business leader Mark Brocklehurst from Sharples Group appeared in a Leaders Council podcast alongside Lord Blunkett, providing an insight into running a business.
The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is currently in the process of talking to leadership figures from across the nation in an attempt to understand this universal trait and what it means in Britain and Northern Ireland today.
Mark Brocklehurst from Warrington based print solutions provider Sharples Group was invited onto an episode of the podcast, which also included an interview with Lord Blunkett. Host Scott Challinor asked both guests a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in their careers to date.
Scott Challinor commented, ‘Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.’
Lord Blunkett, chairman of The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland said, ‘I think the most informative element of each episode is the first part, where Scott Challinor is able to sit down with someone who really gets how their industry works and knows how to make their organisation tick. Someone who’s there day in day out working hard and inspiring others. That’s what leadership is all about.’
Following his interview Mark Brocklehurst said, ‘Leadership plays such a fundamental part in running a business whether it be good or bad. Having an opportunity to chat about my own take on the subject with the Leaders Council was a real honour and even more so at these challenging times.’
