7. Leadership and Perfectionism with Jane Crombleholme

For Episode 7 of Reworked, Rachael talks to Jane Crombleholme,
Head of Executive Education at the Alliance Manchester Business
School, about the concept of anti-perfectionism and being 'just
good enough' as a leader.


Is it harder than ever to be a strong leader? Leadership must be
authentic, inclusive and empathetic, all while delivering a high
level of performance and results.


Jane Crombleholme is the Head of Executive Education at the
Alliance Manchester Business School, the oldest and largest in
the UK, and the Chair of the Board of the NHS Stockport Clinical
Commissioning Group. With her years of experience in management
development, Jane is an advocate for a more relaxed (and
therefore more authentic) take on models of senior leadership.


The episode includes Jane's three-point plan for taking the
perfectionism out of your leadership approach.


Noticing, listening, and giving people the licence to make
mistakes and learn from them are all key elements of this
anti-perfectionist approach. It's a liberating concept, and the
conversation ranges from strategic leadership and people
management to creativity and wellbeing.
