@cmi_managers launch Better Manager’s Roadmap: Reflect, Reskill, Rebuild World leaders and influencers have found a new mantra to get excited about.  The words 'Build Back Better' seem to have become contagious, being uttered by everyone from Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau to Jacinda Arden and Joe Biden. However, trendy buzzwords and catchphrases parroted by the powerful can rapidly become tiresome, unless they’re backed up by real action. And that action needs to bring tangible improvements to the lives of the many and not just the few.

The past year has been a turbulent one. We’ve seen the tragic killing of George Flloyd which has been the catalyst for a global outpouring of anger and grief towards racism and discrimination in society, adding huge momentum to the Black Lives Matter movement. Whilst the pandemic has highlighted some stark inequalities in British society.
