When dealing with matters I aim to play the ball (issues dealing) and not the man (messenger). Too often we sidetrack and in having goes at people overlook the need to concentrate on the agenda.

Coaching, mentoring and genuine patronage need to be part of strong organisations. Confidence and strength needs to be built within. Sharing of ideas needs to be organisational health at heart.

The fabric of organisations is strong if ‘warp’ and ‘weft’ communications are open and honest. Subordinate to superordinate links and peer to peer contexts need to be supportive and appreciative.
