:*  globalisation of business, which has opened up opportunities for  talented individuals irrespective of their race, colour, gender and social  class

:*  new legislation from Brussels as well as Westminster, which provides citizens ever more protection from economic, social and environmental  abuses 
 +
 +
:*  public programmes like the New Deal and Young Enterprise, which are  enabling disadvantaged groups to enjoy the benefits of rising prosperity  that the longest economic recovery has produced, and 
 +
 +
:*  the information revolution, which has added transparency and  accountability to what organisations do in private and public sectors alike.  It has also raised social expectations by enabling people to  compare their lot with groups they normally wish to emulate.

Windsor Leadership Trust

Charles Handy and Michael Mann are credited with setting up the ‘Windsor Meetings’ under the guidance of the Duke of Edinburgh in 1981. The Trust says that "they laid the foundations for a movement of leaders committed to shaping a better society."[1]

The Trust's meetings, organised by St George’s House, Windsor Castle, brought together "high-flyers from all walks of life, to analyse key issues facing society and look at the changes needed to respond to them in the decade ahead."[2] Referring to the meetings in his book The Empty Raincoat, Handy wrote: “the ultimate benefit was the realisation that they [leaders] had the responsibility to shape the society which they were likely to inherit”.[3]

In 1995, these business leaders decided to start an independent charity. The Windsor Leadership Trust, was launched.[4] Its deliberations are conducted under the Chatham House Rule:

"Where a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed; nor may it be mentioned where the information was received."[5]

The Trust also states this disclaimer:

"The Windsor Leadership Trust does publish the names of individuals who are involved with the Trust. However, nothing is attributed to an individual, either directly or in any way that would allow them to be identified, unless prior permission has been explicitly granted by the individual concerned."

The model of leadership that was proposed in his "Leading People"[11] (commissioned by "a number of very large City institutions," with a foreward by Martin Taylor) rests on the view "that our society is becoming more inclusive due to the combination of four factors" which it lists as:

  • globalisation of business, which has opened up opportunities for talented individuals irrespective of their race, colour, gender and social class
  • new legislation from Brussels as well as Westminster, which provides citizens ever more protection from economic, social and environmental abuses
  • public programmes like the New Deal and Young Enterprise, which are enabling disadvantaged groups to enjoy the benefits of rising prosperity that the longest economic recovery has produced, and
  • the information revolution, which has added transparency and accountability to what organisations do in private and public sectors alike. It has also raised social expectations by enabling people to compare their lot with groups they normally wish to emulate.
