Professor Sir Norman Williams is a big cheese in many areas. I first met him in Leeds in 1984 so this was a fascinating discussion for us both.
Norman has been a big name in the colorectal surgery field for decades, contributing some game-changing papers on rectal cancer and pelvic floor diseases. Before long he was appointed as Chair in Surgery at his Alma Mater in London.
Alongside his academic and clinical achievements, he went on to become President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and continues today to advise successive Governments on healthcare strategy and implementation.
He is a fanatical sports fan - especially rugby (and snooker many years ago) and still meets his old rugby pals to remember games and re-write history over a few beers.
His views on leadership styles are well worth hearing for anyone starting out in surgery and politics - indeed all of this interview is worth watching.
