Sue Congram's PhD research is studying leadership as something that involves the whole organisation. From this perspective, the role of a leader is a contributing factor, but not the whole story. The contribution of many individuals will influence the aspirations of an organisation, and affect how it gets there. New insights gained so far have significant implications on leadership development, where transparency, connectedness, conversation and trust are reported to be core attributes of effective organisation-wide leadership practice. Sue's PhD is at Cardiff University |

Simon Dawson is concerned with the widespread over-reliance of quantitative factors in management decision making — often excluding qualitative factors. The result, such as reliance on number-based targets like school SATs, NHS waiting lists, financial advisers bonus targets, can easily become dysfunctional.
Simon is researching this bias in decision-making with a wide range of managers and industry leaders.
Simon's is preparing a book about his research, provisionally entitled The One-Eyed Manager. |
