Research findings underpinning a solution focused approach to leadership development

Hi. It would be just great to be able to bring together some of the better quality research that seems to validate aspects of an SF approach. For example I am a big fan of Bev Alimo Metcalfe's work on engaging leadership in the public sector. There is a good account at Bradley, M. & Alimo-Metcalfe, B. (2008). Best actors in a supporting role. Health Service Journal, 8th May, 28-29 for example. Not only would this be enlightening it would also help with marketing our approaches to those (perhaps sceptical) groups that might benefit most. Has anyone got any material that they can share on this. I am attaching a published article that connects up some provocative sources! I may be co-editing this journal soon (under the new title of the International Journal of Public Sector Leadership) and would love to be able to include lots of SF practices in this area.

I love Mark McKergow's ideas on this topic and look forward to seeing them here soon!

All sparkling best,

Steve
