The woman leading the London Legacy Development Corporation reveals how, 10 years following the London 2012 Olympic Games, she’s delivering on one of the Games’ most important bids.
This is Leaders and How They Lead, the podcast series that looks at what it means to be a leader in the sports industry. We’ve been exploring a range of perspectives over the course of this series; going deep with leaders of teams, agencies, governing bodies, venues, and charities – very different types of organisation and very different types of leader.
We’ve been pressing them on what makes them tick; how they think they manage (upwards and downwards); how they handle failure and conflict; how they communicate strategic vision; how they communicate full stop; how they develop people; how they lead to win – whatever ‘win’ means where they are.
Our final guest is Lyn Garner, the Chief Executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation. She took on the role in February 2018, following a 7 year stint as Strategic Director of Regeneration, Planning and Development at the London Borough of Haringey (during which she oversaw the redevelopment of the area following the 2011 riots). Within her role at the LLDC, Garner not only oversees the long term planning, maintenance and development of the different sports venues that remain part of the Olympic Park, but also in the surrounding areas as the corporation seeks to create a thriving community and business zone in East London.
