For some the very idea of The Public Sector Change Leader is a misnomer, believing that change leaders and the public sector cannot go hand in hand. This is why Judith Germain was keen to speak to Genine Whitehorne who was celebrated in 2013 by The Guardian newspaper in their article ‘one to watch: local government leaders of the future’.
The article tells us that her peers describe her as ‘a strong manager with a ‘natural coaching style that supports and empowers her team to take responsibility”. This was very much in evidence when she spoke to Judith on her Radio show.
