Gerry Robinson - No nonsense approach

Sir Gerry Robinson has been recently knighted for his services to business, and its his motivational qualities of getting the best from people that have allowed his passage to this honour to have taken place. His nonsense approach has seen him rise to the highest level in business which is now been echoed with the lofty positions that his recent TV series on soughting out failing businesses, the rigidity of the NHS structure and the most recently the jargon filled world of HR (Human Resources). Where he notes that much of the NHS and public sector are lost in a world of waffle and jargon, such as Change Management, where he argues management done properly is about dealing with change.

Sir Gerry's history can be seen in Wikipedia, but this does not detail his real skill, which is managing people and his soft skills such as being able to emphatise with others and the situations and stresses they face in day to day situation. Its this ability and understanding that allows him to get the best out of others. You'll see that in his programmes he levels the playing field with the autocrats http://www.open2.net/nhs/ and enables the people who see teh solutions to get a voice and for that voice to be heard. This is motivation is the value he gives and empowers people with.
