Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Monday, 17 January 2011. Personalisation in the provision of public services is the order of the day. But if you are a provider, how can you relate to customers individually if you treat yourself as a functionary? Was she shielding behind her role – as we used to in British Airways? Or was this just the habit of officialdom – the way bureaucracy works? Bill (Dr William Tate). Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Visiting Fellow in...

Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Tuesday, 4 May 2010. Baby Peter Connelly’s legacy (2): How can a fair system of accountability operate when the organisation comprises a complex system? Judge Foskett could see a problem. Should such accountability be seen as something that is invoked only after failure? What about a suitable and ongoing accountability process being openly communicated before major change is required (such as improving child protection in a council)? Leaders...

Systemic Leadership: Renewal postponed
http://systemic-leadership.blogspot.com/2010/05/renewal-postponed.html
Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Friday, 7 May 2010. We all have a personal take on what leadership means. Words count better than polls. On a depressing political morning in which few people will be jumping for unalloyed joy, two positive-sounding words come to mind, and two negative ones. The positives are renewal. The negatives are winning. Is that what the people need? Is such a winning and tribal model of leadership any longer life-serving? Took over. Expressing gr...

Systemic Leadership: Baby Peter Connelly’s legacy (3): How can a fairer system of justice operate for cases of this nature?
http://systemic-leadership.blogspot.com/2010/05/baby-peter-connellys-legacy-3-how-can.html
Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Wednesday, 5 May 2010. Baby Peter Connelly’s legacy (3): How can a fairer system of justice operate for cases of this nature? The purpose of the judicial review was effectively to decide right from wrong. Shoesmith would win or lose. Ofsted would be damned or cleared. Ed Balls’ reputation would be saved or dammed. But where are the shades of grey – on the one hand this, but on the other hand that? The judge recommended discussions take place...

Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Thursday, 6 May 2010. Baby Peter Connelly’s legacy (4): What might Ed Balls have done differently? In the final post on this theme, what would I have done if I had been Ed Balls, when presented with Ofsted’s Joint Area Review report?

Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Friday, 30 April 2010. Baby Peter Connelly’s legacy. Baby Peter’s tragic death spawned much industry, if not quite an. Industry. Legal cases are an inevitable element, most recently the verdict of the High Court application for a judicial review by Haringey’s ex-director of children and young persons services, Sharon Shoesmith, into her unceremonious dismissal without compensation. Where does that leave matters? 4 What could Balls have done ...

Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Thursday, 13 January 2011. At age 53, Miriam O’Reilly wins her case against the BBC for age discrimination. With a strange quirk of timing, today also sees the Government announcing that, despite employers’ objections, it is pressing ahead with plans to scrap their compulsory retirement age of 65. Are the oldies receiving a step up while O’Reilly is required to step down? Bill (Dr William Tate). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fellow, Ch...

Systemic Leadership: Is the government’s ‘big tent’ too small to hold ‘all the talents’, or is it the wrong sort of tent?
http://systemic-leadership.blogspot.com/2011/01/is-governments-big-tent-too-small-to.html
Using the organisational system to pull leadership improvement. Wednesday, 19 January 2011. Is the government’s ‘big tent’ too small to hold ‘all the talents’, or is it the wrong sort of tent? This suggestion connects with the idea that leadership – like wisdom – belongs to the wider system, not just the leaders. Instead of leadership being primarily about content. Say, policy pronouncements) it would become identified more with process. For that to happen, the paradigm would need to change, and changing...
