As wicked issues and culture change increasingly dominate the headlines, the importance of leadership is becoming ever more evident. Leaders, both political and managerial, are being challenged to deal with recalcitrant problems in new ways: framing enquiries rather than presenting expert solutions.
Total Place operates within a context where the relationship between local and central government is contested and evolving.
