Learning and development is important at Barclays. It helps our colleagues learn more about our technology and customers, helps them navigate their working day and working relationships, and helps create great leaders. We spoke with some of our leaders about what they have learnt during their careers, and the advice they’d give to their younger selves. Our leaders have diverse experiences, which helps us better represent our customers' and clients' needs, as well as helping our colleagues develop their skills through our leaders’ experiences.
