I went to a great seminar in Brighton last week. It was run by an associate of mine Glen Poole. Glen specialises in working on not‐for‐profit projects and campaigns that are designed to make a BIG difference by getting more people, to take more action, more often.
Glen got David Cameron to back the campaign to say NO to a third runway at Heathrow airport, developed the Bounce your Balls for cancer campaign and was behind the publicity for the Fathers 4 Justice campaign.
One of the most important things that Glens campaigns need is people who are prepared to take a lead and make things happen. These people are often not formally recognised as leaders but they are the ones who take it upon themselves to take the lead.
Without this campaigns to make a difference fail, as often there isn’t someone to take responsibility for an issue in government and councils or the other authorities that we tend to look to take a lead.
There is a need now for grass roots leaders both in business, and society.
Leading isn’t about having a title, it’s about making a difference. The next time you catch yourself thinking “someone should do something about that” just think, maybe that someone could be you?

New Leadership
Thoughts and ideas on the nature of leadership today.
A new form of economy needs leaders with values beyond simply making a profit. People and planet also need to be high up on the agenda.
A sense of contributing positively to employees, and communities are important aspects that modern management can address.
