Recently, our CEO, Neil Miley, joined The Key on their ‘Trust Matters: Lessons in Leadership’ podcast, where he reflected on his journey into the role as CEO at our trust and the unique insights that have come with it.

In the conversation, he touched on several pivotal experiences, including:

• Documenting his first 100 days as CEO and what he has learnt from looking back at those entries.
• Differences between his past work at Dixons and leading Mercia Learning Trust, especially as he adapts to our trust’s culture and the distinctive needs of the Sheffield community.
• His vision for a trust that values internal growth over external measures like Ofsted and how we’re moving toward a more sustainable, inclusive model.
• The importance of clear communication in leadership and the strategies he's using to align stakeholders across all levels of our trust.
