Who'd swap Hollywood for Westminster? ‘Chariots of Fire’ producer David Puttman did exactly that. After a hugely successful career including winning 10 Oscars and more than 20 Baftas, he left the world of American movies for politics in Westminster. In this episode of the Accomplishment Podcast, Lord Puttman talks to Sir Michael Barber about the impact of his childhood, how an obsessive attention to detail made him successful, the art of negotiation with the toughest people in Hollywood and why the top job isn’t always the right job.
