Dr Carol Jacklin-Jarvis questions the 'warm glow' surrounding the common exhortation to collaborate. This is the first blog in a series of three she has written for the Centre for Voluntary Sector Leadership in The Open University Business School.
CVSL has been created thanks to a generous investment by OU alumnus Anthony Nutt. Its aim is to strengthen leadership in the voluntary sector through the provision of free leadership courses and the completion of research on leadership over the next few years. The Centre will be officially launched in October at a free event in London.
The Centre for Voluntary Sector Leadership is based in The Open University Business School and provides a new opportunity to access learning resources and research-led insight into leadership in the voluntary sector and collaboration within and across sector boundaries.
