Too close to call

Welcome to The Fixer. I’m Leah Brown FRSA, founder of The WayFinders Group. We are Britain’s only specialist organisational repair firm, and every Friday I tell you the truth about what is really happening inside organisations that are supposed to know better. An essay, a watchlist, and a dilemma. Sometimes uncomfortable, always useful.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
