My subject matter leans toward the surreal and fantastic, but is somewhat grounded by realistic proportions. Even some of my more representational works end up having a quality beyond realism.
I have a certain neurodivergence that has given me a fresh perspective on life and the nature of reality. Oftentimes, I feel the rest of the world is disordered.

It may even be possible for leaders to demonstrate this kind of commitment to create some level of followership. Although doing only this may only be effective in the short term. Doing both may enable highly effective leadership. An important and valuable by-product of the work carried out has led to the development of a item self-report normative questionnaire ILM72 which can measure individuals and organisations in terms of the six specific scales style and the three global scales.
The objective was not to identify a new leadership model. It was primarily focused on tidying up what we already know and creating an accessible coherent picture for those involved in leadership development.
Developing leadership skills in UK organisations is critical for our economic development. What we see is that leadership itself has not changed as a concept.
It was, and still is, about improving performance and engaging with people in one way or another to do this. Similarly, leadership style is capable of being defined in a way that can also be assessed and it too has probably remained constant over many years.
The challenge for HR and for senior executives is to grasp more effectively what is leadership and what it can do for the organisation. Then to assess where they are and to introduce interventions that develop leadership style and behaviour in a predictable way. The last 30 years have seen a plethora of attractive leadership models and programmes. Most work. They will work better if the users have a better understanding of their context and they can measure what they are trying to develop.
Last reviewed 19 January Skip to main content. Printable version. Doug Strycharczyk Leadership is a topic which is high on the agenda for most organisations. The results were extremely interesting.
Leadership style The six specific scales stood up psychometrically — reliability scores were good to high 0. Examining each scale in more detail: Task v person This reflects and measures the extent to which the individual is orientated towards meeting the needs of the task or is concerned with the needs of individuals. De-centralised v centralised Someone who adopts a centralised style is someone who prefers that everything goes through him or her.
Reward v punishment High reward indicates that the leader is prepared to reward and recognise acceptable and high performance. The means v the end A leader whose style is focused on the end is someone for whom the result matters more than anything. Structured v organic The organic style is one where leadership seems to come naturally in some way. The clear implication here is that leadership is learned one way or the other. Defining leadership — its importance and how it differs from management Literally thousands of definitions exist.
There is an obvious value in looking at leadership in this way. Leadership — core requirements — the global factors Once the data analysis to confirm the specific scales had been completed, a further analysis revealed that there were three over-arching second order relationships emerging from the study.
Determination to deliver The extent to which there is a single-minded determination to achieve — both in the short and long term. They will often demonstrate: commitment to deliver and a belief in their own ability to do this an awareness of how far you can push people to hit the target an interest in efficiency and effectiveness a concern with the long term as well as the short term — likely to have a vision. Individual cohesion — engaging individuals The extent to which there is focus on enhancing the capability, confidence and commitment of individuals to enable them to contribute to the organisation and to fulfil themselves.
They appear to be strongly associated with: concern with capability of employees a belief that a contented and satisfied employee is likely to be a productive employee formation of meaningful relationships being emotionally intelligent but not being driven by it — they are aware of the significance of feeling but may be logical and calculating about dealing with that.
Focus on team working — engaging the organisation The extent to which there is focus on and attention given to harnessing all the potential in an organisation so that problem-solving and decision-making can occur more efficiently and more effectively. Typically they: believe there is value in sharing ideas and getting others points of view maximise the use of the skills and capabilities within the workforce avoid feeling that they are the centre of everything. That adds a little over 5.
Of the indefinite curtailments still ongoing, I make it 5. Grant has an annual OSB production capability of 2. However, prior to Grant filing for bankruptcy protection in Canada in mid, the US residential housing market slump had taken a toll on its operations. Despite a robust announcement earlier this year about its intention to acquire the Grant assets, GP has encountered a fair amount of local and political opposition to its plans.
There are concerns the Atlanta-based forest products giant will operate only the profitable Grant mills, leaving many permanently without jobs in parts of Ontario, even while securing access to publicly-owned timber resources. Grant believes the proposed sale aims to keep the Englehart plant open but permanently close Timmins. Mr Grant said he hoped the banks would realise that, if the proposed sale did not take place, his company could work its way back to profitability and that he was committed to reopening the Timmins plant.
Another acquisition situation casts a question mark over the prospects for the Longlac Industries mill in Ontario, which also has a capacity of million ft2. The mill was indefinitely curtailed by Kruger Inc in October and formally closed on January 31, , along with the Longlac plywood mill, shortly after Kruger and Norbord Inc announced a plan to form a hardwood plywood joint venture at Cochrane, Ontario. The Longlac facilities were sold in December to a local consortium, Kenogami Industries, comprising the Municipality of Greenstone, Ginoogaming First Nation and private investors.
But the new owner has no plans to reopen the mill. The group bought the assets in Longlac to prevent the buildings being torn down. We wanted to ensure that the facilities were available in case we could find an investor to come here.
Of the state-of-the-art mills that were built and commenced operations during the boom times, two were idled while in start-up mode, at different times and for different reasons. Athabasca Division had the additional challenge of coming online during a market down cycle unprecedented in its severity and duration.
