Summary

In this episode of Leadership Learned, Matt and Rona speak with Professor Tom Harrison from the University of Birmingham, a leading voice on character and virtue in education and leadership.

Together, they explore the real meaning of character - how it’s defined, how it’s developed, and why it matters more than ever in leadership today. From the classroom to the boardroom, Tom shares insights on the power of moral and civic virtues, the limits of rules-based cultures, and what it takes to lead with authenticity and purpose.

They also discuss the expectations of the next generation of leaders, the shift from performative to principled leadership, and why embedding character into organisational culture is not just idealistic - it’s essential.

A must-listen for anyone invested in creating values-led, future-ready schools and organisations.
