My leadership development day on the cultural leadership programme

I've just arrived home from an excellent day on the Cultural Leadership Programme's (CLP) "Leadership Development Days" programme, and while it's fresh I'm going to write up an overview of what it was all about and what I got out of it. CLP is all about raising skills in the creative and cultural sector - something I think needs to be up the priority list (especially given the West Midlands productivity and skills gaps). In line with what I've been saying about 'where are the leaders', and in fact what Gordon Brown's been talking about recently, I thought that it was high time that I booked myself onto a relevant course to see if I could pick up some tips on making myself more effective in making interesting things happen in the world.
