I received this last night...

"Chris, As an ex-teacher from Leeds I have followed your blog for some time. Whether habits drive values and beliefs or values and beliefs drive habits is an interesting chicken and egg situation. The quickest way to change culture - and drive up performance - is to give managers a diferent way to manage people. To invest more time in relationships with staff to facilitate their personal and professional development as an ongoing priority, driven by the need to continually improve the service. Working to achieve a significant return on investment in relationships with employees makes it possible to create a step change in performance. Also have to make it a priority to rigourously manage underperformance and those that merely 'whelm'! Do get in touch if you would be intersted in a chat. I am already running a Progressive Managers' Network in Leeds and perhaps we can do something to help? www.progressivemanagersnetwork.co.uk"

I know that their are people and organisations out there who share my passion and belief in the critical importance of relationships in cultural change and the fact that people matter most in developing brilliant organisations.. Looks like I need to talk to the progressive managers network!
