In the lead-up to the 2020Plus Civic and Business Leadership Event in Stoke-on-Trent, UK recently, Mal Fletcher appeared on BBC Radio talking about the role of leadership in shaping the future of cities.

'The key is not how much power the leader has in him or herself,' said Mal. 'It's about how much they're willing to empower others to be inventive.'

'Leaders articulate vision, map out strategy and marshal activity to create an environment in which people feel confident in their own ability to create and solve problems.'

You are right that we often shrink back from fully expressing our convictions because it puts us "out there". We must realise that the world looks at us at the same time as they hear us. We must learn the lessons & press on.

I love the Next Wave International website. It's been a source of encouragment and direction. A powerful package all in one! "DYNAMITE". Thanks.

I was close to tears when I read the excerpt from Mal's new book "The Future is X". He reminded me of things from my past which were so dramatically true.
