It probably goes without saying that leadership is important in organisations that are set up to protect vulnerable people, and this is what this Chapter is about.
Like nature abhors a vacuum, society abhors lack of leadership.
This is important because where there’s a lack of good leadership it will be filled by bad leadership.
I always find it difficult to define leadership but I know it when I experience it because I can feel it and I am moved by it.
I have discussed at length how values of the corporate world have filtered into the Pillars and then the world of community work and this Chapter will focus on many qualities – but mostly values – that, I believe, leaders that work in organisations that support the Focus Group need.
The Chapter is divided into 9 Sub-Chapters.
