JOHN POTTER


ent in virtually every company in the uK then we can build this country into an economic powerhouse, based on small to medium-sized businesses.” He has strong views about the state of education, saying that obsession with qualifications takes away the focus on the key role of schools, colleges and universities: building their students’ skills and their mindset to be successful in whatever they undertake. He is going to provide a guide to this development in his new book shortly to be published called, “Punch above your weight in whatever you want to do” . “We need to look to higher education to give our young people real business skills,” he said. “If we give people the skills to be entrepreneurs and then reward them for showing that aptitude and enjoyment in taking ownership of what they do – whether it be within a larger company or on their own – then we will find more businesses succeeding and the economy growing in a faster and more sustainable way.” His views and expertise have been recognised by his


invitation to join the Advisory Board for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Entrepreneurship in the House of Lords – which aims to boost the role taken by new businesses formed by entrepreneurs. “The future of our economy depends on two things:


ownership and leadership. We need companies whose owners and employers are engaged and take ownership of what they are doing – whatever their role, whatever their business. The way to find this engagement is through good leadership.”•
