Strong Leadership

Strong leadership is needed no argument there, but belittling and abusing staff is not acceptable, Williamson crossed the line with “ slit your throat” etc.
A good leader gives his staff achievable targets with enough time and resources to do the work.

It seems strange to me that we have now had allegations lodged about three MPs who happened to be ministers, one after the other. How strange, that’s never happened before. Maybe a campaign by the press?

Or lots of bullies?

Or a culture of poor behaviour.

I think some of this behaviour used to be accepted as ‘assertive’. Indeed I have worked with men like this. Thankfully it’s now seen for what it is and I hope people will speak up about it.

No, I don’t think so. It’s a campaign to get rid of these people. As soon as one’s gone, they start on another.

Strong leadership does not mean throwing your sandwich contents at staff.

Strong leadership is not someone who has to have a “minder” when dealing with junior staff.

Strong leadership is not someone who absolutely goes off at the deep end when he/she feels that they have been thwarted.

There is nothing about a strong leader with Raab.

Oh I had missed the sandwich incident, how pleasant, what an example of mature leadership.

I said absolutely nothing about strong leadership.

😄😄 I read that as manure leadership.

I said absolutely nothing about strong leadership.

The OP is headed that?

It’s not a campaign against ministers, Williamson and others were well out of line, we dont know yet what Rabbs incidents are, assertive is OK, abusive isn’t.

To be fair I never check my posts WW so I could have quite easily said manure leadership. It has a certain ring to it

Oh so it is Whitewave. I must have read it and not registered it.

Well that’s an opinion.

Maddyone, you are quite right, it is a campaign, against the old guard. Replace with fresh new faces, except that they are not fresh, new or successful.

The bullying culture at Westminster has been recognised and acknowledged for years.

There’s always been an action ministers and MPs can take. Don’t bully. The difference now is that if you do you will be reported, and quite rightly. Good leaders don’t bully, they don’t need to because they have the people management skills to take their staff with them, so won’t be reported.
If you think it’s a campaign against the current government, why do you think there have been bullying accusations and actions taken against MPs from the other parties as well?
