E6: Visiting Shepton Mallet Prison

I spent a few days in Somerset visiting the team at Shepton Mallet Prison and was incredibly impressed by how well organised and together the whole team was.

I spent some time reflecting on what makes a good manager and the difference between this and a good leader. That brought me to the realisation that I’m not a good manager (something I have known for while, but not said). Having me managing people has probably slowed down our growth and this is something I’m trying to rectify in coming weeks.
