Take names and kick …

I can think of nothing worse than the kind of tub-thumping aggressive rhetoric, concerning the city’s troubled Children’s Services Department, which is reported in the Coventry Telegraph.

Anybody who thinks that this kind of "ruthless" approach to management – “two strikes and you’re out” and “moving people on” - is likely to produce anything other than more demoralisation and confusion needs to think again.

The solution to Coventry's problems is not about creating a culture of fear - it is about creating a culture of improvement.
