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

In Oct 2011, 2020Plus, the Think Tank on social change and leadership innovation, 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. (The event was hosted by Avodah Enterprises and Breathe City Church.)

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, prerecorded interview and was edited for time by the BBC.
