“No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.” Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919) (http://bit.ly/1UD5BJh)
Editor’s comment
Searching online I found many quotes that revealed the numerous facets and traits of leadership. Some are from recognisable leaders such as Alexander the Great, Steve Jobs. You can view them here: https://bit. ly/2kkPOT5.
have achieved. I think the articles on leadership from page 38 are informative and inspirational and essential reading. Another article I suggest you must read is about universal credit (see page 18). The unfolding of a disaster is increasingly evident, with data employers supplying via real time information adversely affecting many claimants. Though the article outlines a possible solution, it seems unlikely to be widely adopted; indeed, some in the payroll industry will think the government must act and lead.
As I’m nearing the end of my appointment as chair of the CIPP I have started to reflect on the overall experience of the past couple of years and the wonderful opportunities that have presented themselves to me, as well as the lasting friendships and payroll professional colleagues that I have met worldwide. I have especially liked to see the wonderful response to my on-going requests to empower our membership to volunteer themselves as future board directors of the CIPP. Last year, for the first time since I’ve been associated with the Institute, we had fourteen initial applications with nine who ultimately stood for election, resulting in four new board members. This year I’m overwhelmed that nineteen members have decided to work with the existing board to shape the strategy into the future. Every one of those who applied has something great to offer. Whether it be innovation skills, strong financial expertise, IT experience; whether they are digital strategists, have small-to- I chose the above quote as it conveys that we all need people around us, people we rely on, people who can inspire and motivate; indeed, without people there can be no leaders. Leadership is so important in our work and indeed our lives. We give and receive leadership, often without recognising or knowing it; and sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s poor. You’ll find great examples of leaders throughout this issue and in the accompanying supplement. Indeed, you need look no further than the two pieces below to discover leaders and the change they Chair’s message

medium-size employer involvement or whether their experience is more generalist in payroll management and industry capability – all of that is valuable to the future of the CIPP. I’m delighted that so many have felt encouraged to put themselves forward. The last thing for this month is now to encourage the membership to review the applications and vote for those they think would have the skills necessary, and the personality to take the Institute forward and continue the remarkable success we’ve seen over the last few years. We are moving from strength to strength, but we’d be nothing without our members – so we rely on you not only to support by voting, but continuing to support our surveys, events and consultations.

membership for members who meet the necessary criteria. Since then we have received a number of applications, and as befitting to our industry the criteria in selecting Chartered members are both vigorous and thorough. Therefore, I salute our first Chartered members. At the time of writing, we have nineteen such members, which is a real credit to our industry. Have a look at what it takes to become a Chartered member, visit https://bit.ly/2ylCVzE and maybe one day you’ll also be there. November is a further time for celebration as we hold our graduation ceremony for those who have successfully completed our university qualifications. Congratulations to all those graduating.
once again a very successful Annual Conference and Exhibition and Annual Excellence Awards. A supplement from the
Annual Conference and Exhibition and the Annual Excellence Awards is provided as an insert with this month’s magazine. We enjoyed detailed, legislative and current topics in all the workshops and, hopefully, for those who attended, you took away some key information; that ‘nugget’ to further help in your career and job role. The plenary sessions introduced our global visitors, a further reminder of the all-reaching effect the payroll family has. Excellence was once again recognised at the awards ceremony and the CIPP congratulate all the worthy winners and wish to share in celebrating their success! I am reminded that at the 2017 Annual Conference and Exhibition, our chair, Eira Hammond, announced Chartered
