Culture for care: your toolkit 2014 ‘Well led, positive workplace cultures are also flexible, responsive and resilient’

Leadership… Dr John P Kotter - Konosuke Matsushita Professor of Leadership, Emeritus at Havard Business School and Chief of Innovation at Kotter International ‘ It is associated with taking an organisation into the future, finding opportunities that are coming at it faster and faster and successfully exploiting those opportunities. Leadership is about vision, about people buying in, about empowerment and, most of all about producing successful change. Leadership is not about attributes, it’s about behaviour. And in an ever-faster-moving world, leadership is increasingly needed from more and more people, no matter where they are in a hierarchy. The notion that a few extraordinary people at the top can provide all the leadership needed today is ridiculous and it’s a recipe for failure.’
