So what can we expect from Dame Helen Ghosh as the new director general of the national trust..? She's 56 so she might be around for less than 10 years..? She has inherited a period of rapid change, so she will implement someone else's change programme. She was chosen ahead of people in the cultural sector, maybe reflecting a strong board who want to lead and an objective eye on how the change is progressing.
Based on a www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01lz7yf
Simon Jenkins, the Chairman said "we wanted a strong leader who could get to grips with different part of the organisation that need addressing. Someone who could be a little unpopular. its a bit of a gamble from her, a bit of a gamble from us. but one we were prepared to take.
"A civil service background didn't naturally offer what we wanted. we're waiting to see. it will be very interesting. she has significantly organisational skills which is what we need.
"I asked her at interview: what would it be like if you had a make a speech against the government. she said she can't wait"
In conclusion, according to radio 4 "They will be led by a figure who has been at the head of leading change in organisations and institutions.
"Trust members and staff should be prepared for change.."
