A really interesting piece on the new leadership styles required prosper in the most challenging of times, and ‘heroic’, forcing leadership styles do not feature. If I have a criticism of what is generally a helpful piece for the debate about public leadership, it is that the article perhaps understandably, uses examples that focus on the ‘usual’ star names and does not seem to offer a longer term historical perspective. These leadership styles have been extant in some local authorities for over 25 years and not only in large city authorities. There are many others in local government, less well known, who achieve significant progress, against the odds, using the fierceness of their quiet resolve to work through boundaries, around constraints and over barriers.
