Croydon Leadership


Croydon has a number of key leadership figures. Some I would take my hat off too as they are doing a great job with little or no support or gratitude. There are however some others who you really need to question.

Early part of this week, I was invited to an event in Croydon. It was geared up that lots of people would be there and it would be good for businesses and residents. I must admit, I only stayed for the first hour but it became very clear even in that short time, no one was actually attending.

Recently, we learnt that Marc Gore, Croydon's top Policeman has moved on due to rules governing him on his training. There are some that will not be too sad to see him go and yet there will also be those who will be sad at his lost to the Croydon Community.

And it is that is the issue. Croydon has has hundreds of thousands of residents and untold number of workers commuting into Croydon. There is room for change and there are those who will be good at it but how many of you will actually come forward and get involved.

The main point is. There are many people who love to Moan and drop comments on what they would do if they had a chance but they never get involved in making decisions. Then there are those who get so rapped up in something because they cannot see both sides of the story for one reason or another. It is all well and good about being passionate about something but you still may not be a good leader. You need to climb down of the high horse and let others around you who care just as much as you may but can help as a team to build better leadership
