Camila Batmanghelidjh was born in Tehran in 1963. She was educated at Sherborne Girls' School and Warwick University and became a psychotherapist. In her early 20s, she started her first charity, The Place To Be, a counselling service for schoolchildren. In 1996, she founded Kids Company in six converted railway arches in London, and in 2006 her book, Shattered Lives: Children Living With Courage And Dignity, was published. She lives in London.
When asked: If you could edit your past, what would you change?
Her response was: I so underestimated the destructive powers of middle management.
So what has she experienced to reach this conclusion? What's it like in your organisation? And what can we do to help?
