Building resilience and capability: Shaping the future of Morgan Sindall Construction

The work of leadership “There is no one ‘model’ of what leadership should look like. Instead, leadership is entirely relevant to the problem and the situation in the moment. It also isn’t something that is done just by virtue of someone’s position in an organisation. “At Cranfield, we talk about the work of leadership. Leadership is a practice; it’s a process; it emerges in the organisation and it’s about how a sense of direction, alignment and people’s commitment is developed in the organisation. “Lots of people in an organisation can be giving direction, alignment and commitment, and so the role of the leadership team is not only to do its own leadership but also to enable the environment for other people in the organisation to do leadership.” Professor David Denyer Professor of Leadership and Organisational Change, Cranfield School of Management
