22 Amanda Britton, Higher Education CEO: Leading a World-Class Institution at Rambert School
from The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and life · host amanda britton
In this episode I meet Amanda Britton, the inspirational Chief Executive, Principal and Artistic Director of the world-renowned Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance. Her powerful story, from leaving home at the age of 12 to pursue her passion for dance, through being one of the youngest new hires at Ballet Rambert and eventually taking on leadership of the iconic Rambert School, reflects her deep personal connection with dance and the legacy of Marie Rambert, but also her incredible vision for the future of a School that just celebrated its centenary. She talks in depth about how the team pivoted an elite dance training institution to fully online learning within 3 weeks of the start of the COVID pandemic and discusses what managing the School and its family of students through the crisis taught her about leadership, culture and values. Essential listening for senior executives, especially those leading brands with a significant legacy to protect.
