The Chief Executive of Birmingham Council is a busy guy at the moment.
The future of public service delivery is coming under greater scrutiny, significant spending cuts across the sector are slowly emerging, and organisations such as Advantage West Midlands and Business Link are under increasing pressure to reduce costs and spending.
The same applies across all areas that BCC manages, not just business and industry in the West Midlands.
I managed to steal 10 minutes of Stephens time at his office, asking a few questions about his management and leadership style, past influences and what sort of influences will affect Birmingham’s future.

What a fabulous little video – well done Paul. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could have one of these every month to keep us updated with news and views from the top. Video is so much more emotive (and enjoyable to watch) than an email.
Good to hear Stephen talking about needing leaders at all levels of organisations and still having really aspirational ambitions for the city.
