Leadership Under Pressure: A Conversation with Martin Green

In this exclusive conversation, Martin Green shares his perspective on leadership, pressure, and the future of adult social care.This sets the context for the leadership series that follows — exploring the real challenges care leaders are facing today.

Profit

Financial pressure in care is real — but the biggest risk isn’t always cost.

It’s delayed decisions.

In this session, we explore how hesitation impacts performance, and how leaders can make clearer, more confident financial decisions without needing perfect certainty.

Quality

Quality in care is no longer judged on intention — it’s judged on evidence.

This session explores how leaders can move from opinion-led conversations to evidence-based confidence and how to spot early signals before problems emerge.

Time

Care homes are always busy.

But leadership doesn’t happen in the gaps between emergencies.

This session explores how leaders can protect time, reduce firefighting, and create space to actually lead.

People

Retention isn’t just a recruitment problem.

It’s a leadership and culture problem.

This session explores how everyday leadership behaviours shape culture — and why people stay when the work is hard.
