Thank you so much to the fabulous Lee Davidson for letting us share her thoughts on leadership. This is a must read! Link is below: https://nationalleadershipnetwork.co.uk/2025/09/03/a-journey-of-becoming/

We recently shared another couple of leadership blogs from friends of the NLN - Declan and Zoe. Declan’s blog details his admiration for a colleague and Zoe’s focuses on trust. As always we ask people to talk about ‘leadership’ in anyway they want. If you would like to write a blog please get in touch with gary@thenln.org
