In this bonus series on Leadership and Learning, we are sharing episodes from other podcast series we recommend. They feature inspirational people that our host, Sue Stockdale has interviewed. This guest episode is from the Clusters podcast.
Host Sue Stockdale talks to Simon Bazalgette, Chair of Trustees at the worldXchange Foundation, about how the legacy of the Grubb Institute, which focused on organisational dynamics, systems thinking and psychology, played a role in the creation of Clusters.
Clusters is a programme bringing together representatives from across sectors such as Housing, Environmental, Health and Digital to explore new ways of seeing, being and doing.
Simon talks about how self-awareness, systemic thinking, and empowering others are at the heart of effective leadership. He describes a powerful early learning experience he had as a volunteer running a youth club in a deprived area, where by using this leadership approach they created a safe space for the youths to run their own organisation.
In 2020, Simon co-founded Global Venue Services, and he is the Chairman. Between 2008 and 2019 he was Chairman of Jockey Club Racecourses, (JCR) the largest UK racecourse operator, and Group Chief Executive of its owner, The Jockey Club. JCR owns and operates 15 racecourses and puts on three of the top 10 best attended sports events in the UK (Cheltenham, the Grand National and the Derby). Prior to taking over the running of the 270-year-old Jockey Club, Simon had spent 15 years co-founding and running media and technology start-ups.
The worldXchange foundation exists to advance the education and the capability of communities to shape positive sustainable change through collaborative, action led programmes across the world.
