Daniel Haslam's blog

This blog by Daniel Haslam focuses on some of these ethical leadership tensions in food banks, drawing on information presented by colleague Dr Nik Winchester at the International Studying Leadership Conference (ISLC) in 2021.

This blog post is a continuation of an occasional series focusing on the role of Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOs) written by Dr Daniel Haslam.

This is the third post in an occasional blog series written by Dr Daniel Haslam. 

Introduction

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic the decision to close buildings or to keep them open has been something that many organisations have had to grapple with. For some, the availability of (mostly technological) alternatives led to the conclusion that there was no way they could justify face-to-face delivery of services. Others felt there was no choice but to stay open.

This blog by Dr Daniel Haslam is a key output from CVSL’s Annual Conference. He discusses the Theory of Collaborative Advantage which was explored in one of the workshops. This session examined the benefits of collaboration but also the numerous challenges it brings with it.

This blog, originally written for a series by the Department for Public Leadership and Social Enterprise (PuLSE), is written by Dr Daniel Haslam, Lecturer in Management in the Center for Voluntary Sector Leadership. This piece explores how the voluntary sector works in cross-sector collaborations, specifically in this case a project with the NHS.
