Baroness Armstrong and Rt Hon Chloe Smith join us to discuss what skills ministers need to make the most out of their jobs.
Ministers play a key role in making policy decisions, but also have a useful ability to shape the advice and input that informs those decisions.
Ensuring you understand the rules that apply to ministers can help you avoid difficult situations that distract from your ability to get things done.
Using research skilfully can be an effective way to strengthen your policies.
The most effective ministers are those who can achieve their key priorities within budget, ensuring value for money for the taxpayer.
