Hello Jon
You have had some brilliant advice on this Jon and I have loved reading this email string as I am in this situation myself more than occasionally...
I have little more to add except some reassurance for you...start as you mean to go on...show them whom they have reruited...don't let them pull back from the commitment to change they made when they selected you...
Meanwhile a little African Proverb I learned at the weekend:
If you want to go faster, go alone. If you want to go further, go together.

Hi all
Many thanks for your energy, insight and wisdom - I found all of you contributions most helpful...
I like your ideas, Harrison - neatly summarised as as "keep moving, open space, and get out of the way"! I liked you ideas, Barry to go local and work stealthily (with integrity) and get it all happening, I liked your ideas, Avner to loosen the agency boundaries and get the people with passion together and make progress. I like your ideas, Pankaj to get the results out into the open and exchanged. I liked your ideas, Wendy about harnessing the passion of conflict into a new direction by 'placing a pebble' in the flow. I like your ideas, Funda and Kerry to establish a virtual reporting hub.
So much advice and support - many many thanks.
(Keep it coming of course!!)
