They sound like a communist party slogan from the soviet era.
Something like, Trust in the party and
the United workers will achieve great Progress. They are
in fact the easy to remember headline words of the value statement of
a small deprived midland local authority I once worked for. Helpfully
the website explains what each word stands for.
Trust – Shows respect, makes a...

null Let's do a deal
Donald Trump the new US president with a business background has appointed people to his senior posts on the bases that they are good at "doing deals". Is this a new and worrying tend in the public sector which we are likely to follow? A worrying tend because doing deals in the commercial world is a rather murky business where ethical and moral considerations are...

Leaders give permission to say the wrong thing, open out as opposed to close down discussion and are prepared to manage the emotions stirred up. Leaders put the same emphasise on values as budgets and performance (and are prepared to be challenged where these appear to be in conflict for example staffing levels and budget cuts).

The senior management team were experimenting with an open plan office. Senior managers were often still at a hot desk when others had gone home. So the cleaner had to clean round us. Our regular was a young girl called Helen. She told us her mother got her the job, her mother and father both worked as cleaners here in head office. She still lived at home.We progressed beyond "hello" to...

null Swimming in Culture
Senior managers are fond of saying we need to change the culture of the organisation. They are saying it now in response to the introduction of commissioning and greater use of the private sector in the NHS. It has been repeatedly stated in Local Authorities as part of efficiency initiatives and out sourcing services. Now I hear it said in relation to the culling of posts and the focus on...

The announcement that Steve Jobs is to step down as chief executive
of Apple for health reasons had an immediate impact on share prices

executive is also recognised in the public sector. These are
individuals who are credited with turning around...
