What qualities come to the forefront of your mind when you think of a great leader? Vulnerability is not as high on most people’s list as I think it should be. In my recent TEDx talk I make a case why it is such a crucial element of effective leadership. youtu.be/9GZYHp0mlVg

Inspiring & insightful day at East Anglian Air Ambulance. Took the 7 Trust CEOs that make up our regional Flywheel Network to explore leadership in matrix organisations; culture; appraisal; decision making under pressure & what it means to be deliberately developmental.

When I asked 50 Deputy Heads on Friday what was most consuming their bandwidth at the moment, this is what they said. When I asked a large gp of HTs in September, their biggest issues was recruitment & retention. Any surprises? Does this resonate with your current experience?
