How Do We Trust Labour? The Cost of Poor Leadership in Politics & Business!trust-in-leadership-recruitment

The recent sentencing of Labour MP Mike Amesbury raises serious questions—not just about individual conduct, but about trust in leadership as a whole. If those elected to serve the public make poor decisions, how can we have confidence in their ability to lead?

The same applies in business. A bad hire in a leadership role can:
❌ Damage reputation
❌ Erode trust with employees and customers
❌ Create long-term consequences for the organisation

At Howard James Recruitment, we understand that trust is earned through the right leadership. Whether in politics or business, choosing the right people isn’t just about skills—it’s about integrity, judgement, and reliability.

📢 How do we rebuild trust when leadership fails? And do companies take enough care when hiring key decision-makers? Let us know your thoughts!
