Sir Tony Blair, Former UK Prime Minister, on Leadership, Immigration, the Middle East & More!
Labour's longest serving PM covers lessons learnt on leadership during his tenure and shares some thoughts on international affairs, public sector spending, immigration, and technological disruption.
Thought-provoking, amusing, self-critical, rich with anecdotes, laced with good advice, and large servings of humility, you might not automatically assume I’m describing the book, titled 'On Leadership', just published and written by Sir Tony Blair!
The discussion starts with the essential need for a leader to identify the priorities, to determine the plan, and to pursue its execution.
Sir Tony Blair discusses meeting roadblocks and responses, and why the leader must stay resolute. He then opines on international affairs today; including thoughts on China, India, Russia and the Middle East.
He covers higher education, lessons from Singapore’s ‘economic miracle’, and the challenges of immigration.
He shares perspectives from the Tony Blair Institute, which today advises over 40 countries, how technology can promote major leaps forward, reasons for optimism, why humility is key and why there’s no substitute for hard work!
Tony served as the UK's Prime Minister from 1997-2007, overseeing the Northern Ireland peace process, extensive public sector reform, regional devolution, House of Lords reform, introduction of the minimum wage and university tuition fees, as well as foreign intervention in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq.
