Consider this for a moment….

The UK College of Policing, commissioned by the Home Secretary, has just published a review of the police service.

The report finds that the service has insular attitudes, is resistant to change and that senior management fail to listen to officers.  There is a culture of heroic leadership led from the top and too many levels of management.

Now, where have you heard this before?  In many organisations?

The report recommends less hierarchy and a greater emphasis on teamwork.

The CEO of the College of Policing concludes with:  “Only by investing in and valuing the people who work in policing will we succeed.”

And isn’t this true of most organisations?
