Britain's Public Sector bosses learnt to lead at an early age

A survey of 500 UK business owners and managers by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) revealed that many were marked out as future leaders from an early age with 44 per cent having been school prefects, nine per cent head boys or girls and 22 per cent captains of a school sports team. Public Sector bosses were above the national average in several areas including the most likely to have been prefects (55 per cent) and most likely to have had a musical role with almost a quarter (24 per cent) of them having played in an orchestra.
