I think this is a time when leaders need to plan - but need to build much more flexibility into those plans but they also need to communicate and prioritise over much shorter time scales. To paraphrase an old saying - a week is a long time in politically driven organisations. Good managers will be more hands on during a period like this - bad managers will be more exasperating than ever! Steve Paul

But the managers at the Oxford plant started from a similar environment and made different choices from those made at Longbridge; and had a different outcome. I would like to think there is still time for organisations to learn from the mistakes of others and help their managers take a different approach. But when you don't know who will be your boss after May 6th, its difficult to plan far ahead! Oh such a familiar story.
