Dare to be Different: This Way to the Secret Nuclear Bunker
Will Ryan
"During this lively and interactive session we will explore how great leaders take their organisation and the people within it to places and heights you wouldn’t normally expect them to achieve. Key strategies about how this can be achieved will be discussed. The role of collaboration in a twenty first century context will be explored as well as some as the key qualities our best leaders possess. The importance of leading a school according a key set of beliefs and principles and a deep understanding of the community the school serves will be high profile within the presentation. Reference will be made to leaders form a variety of walks of life."

Business leader Margaret Heffernan observes that it is social cohesion — built every coffee break, every time one team member asks another for help — that leads over time to great results. It's a radical rethink of what drives us to do our best work, and what it means to be a leader. Because as Heffernan points out:
