The Architect
Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.
Michael John Hastings, Baron Hastings of Scarisbrick, CBE, is one of the most institutionally distributed leadership figures in the UK public record. An independent crossbench peer in the House of Lords (appointed via the Independent Appointments Commission in 2005 after twice declining party-aligned peerage offers), he holds the Professor of Leadership chair at the Stephen R.
“Whatever the systems of policing, the court's probation, imprisonment can do to constrain and restrain criminal activity out there, the reality is most people would rather have a voluntary experience of understanding the pain and distress caused by crime, which is why we created Neighborhood Watch. We created victim support.”
“They look nice at home, but most of them are kind of tucked away The impact of them is like the value of my peerage to the House of Lords I can be actively involved in regulation, legislation and the accountabilities of government.”
“You have a platform in which you may well do the most, or rather the least obvious thing about leadership. And here I'll pick on a great example from recent times. One, I think probably one of the most undeniably successful significant and states woman-like leader was Angela Merkel, leading Germany over her 16 years.”
“It outwards, express, share, give, embrace, bring people into the circle. I really believe always never go anywhere that's grand and don't take somebody with you. Just make sure you spread the joys that are given to you. And some of those joys become gems for others' advantage. And that to me is incredibly invigorating.”
