Business Leaders 'Start Young'
Many of Britain's top business people showed signs of ambition whilst still at school, according to new research from MORI. The survey has been released as part of the DDI's report 'The Leading Edge: Leadership potential from the classroom to the boardroom'. Among the 105 business leaders interviewed by MORI, 70% had been school prefects, half (50%) had captained their sports teams, almost a third (30%) had been heads or deputy heads of school and a similar number had been leaders of youth groups outside school such as the Scouts or Brownies.
