CROSBY BEACH -- I'm standing out with Anthony Gormley's life-sized statues in Morcombe Bay.  They are both much, much smaller, and much, much bigger than I had thought.

Amazing really.

I am writing another book.  In my spare time.  This one will be new from start to finish.  And it's about leadership at work.  These statues sum up an interesting part of what I am trying to incite: a willingness to stand against the tide. 

Although these metal men, who are drilled into the beech, are only my height (6 foot +) they look frightening and impressive standing at various points submerged in water.  They don't move.   The waves lash around them.

Organisational culture can be just as complex and seemingly overwhelming.  But leaders need to stand up for what is right.  And organisations, through leaders, need to make sure that they provide support for everyone from the local line manager to the CEO to be able to do what is in the best interests of the company and it's employees at all times.

Man, it's windy out here.
