“The golden threads catch the light and illuminate even the darkest picture.”
There is a void when it comes to wisdom for leadership and organisational change as a Christian.
Traditionally, material in this area falls into either the sacred or the secular. At worst, this can be polarising; at best, a difficult balancing act.
But there’s a better way.
A more enriching and therefore fruitful approach. A tapestry of many strands woven together, embellished by golden threads as these pieces of wisdom are brought into a configuration that works: the Improving From WithIn model.
Pioneering and timely, elements of this model include Alignment; Climate Creation; Leading Change; Improvement and Innovation; Motivation; and Engagement.
Born out of extensive practical and strategic experience with organisations, policy makers and local authorities, this work is gleaming with wisdom that will act as a catalyst for those seeking to bring about faithful and professional organisational change.
“Here is a book that is fresh in its approach and captivating in content.” Rev Derek Holbird

I enjoyed Sue's book on a number of levels, partly because it is written in several different and distinct parts. She draws on her own personal journey weaving her professional practice (mainly in education) and faith together. starting with a section on her own journey into educational leadership and the process by which she developed her model of change. The bulk of the book is about the different steps or elements that form her model. Whilst developed in an educational setting the model would be appicable in a wide range of settings I found her use of other models from the business world to be helpful, insightful and used appropriately. There were a couple that I was not familiar with and these were an added bonus. Each chapter works well by itself and there is a good use of diagrams to help illustrate the processes she is exploring. She finishes by drawing together a number of interviews that she undertook as part of the writing process with a wide range of people of faith who held a range of leadership roles. It is good to see that her work is underpinned by research and some of the insights given are valuable in and of themselves.
