My Ass-umptions! 1.Moving II forward is about leadership and change management 2.Anyone can lead – but its hard 3.Data, evidence and research – don’t (alone) lead to change

So what do I have against research and data? Absolutely nothing. Why do you think your findings always take so long to be taken seriously?

So it's been a bit slower than usual. - Dr Stewart (1999, aged 93)

Buster sat on my lap, hugged me and turned my face towards his to look into my eyes for the first time this morning, just to be together, not because he wanted something. WOW! … Please tell me this new Buster is here to stay, I am scared to believe he is, it would just be so hard to go back to the way he was. – Buster’s mum
