What's your leadership style?

 

I'm a great believer in distributed leadership. I believe strategy and vision are important, but you can only lead with emotional intelligence. For example, the London serious youth violence board is really complex; it's about bringing together all the major agencies across London, including all 33 councils and the mayor's office. You need a lot of creativity with such a complicated challenge, to instil the belief that you can make a difference, and then to break the tasks down into chunks – and to celebrate people's contributions when things do begin to happen.
