The advice comes from consultant John Fay MBE from SFL who works with public and private sector organisations to show how leadership impacts on performance and reputation.
Tom Parker is the third person to resign from this role since Johnson’s appointment as Mayor of London in May. The announcement from the Mayor’s office puts Parker’s resignation down to ‘too much responsibility for an unelected official.’
John Fay comments on the current situation: “This news sends out confused signals about internal relations and is potentially damaging to ‘brand Boris’.
“The political spotlight can exacerbate weaknesses in teams as opposition parties are keen to use negative situations to turn to their advantage.
“It’s vital Boris takes stock and thinks carefully before appointing his next aide. He came to power in a wave of positive media and must prove he can weather more turbulent times to retain respect and political favour.
“His next step is an important one as it’s vital he portrays the image of a leader in control of his team. If he can turn this situation round and remain composed in the spotlight he will overcome one of the biggest challenges he’s faced in power to date.”
