Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is threefold: first to report on what happened when the narratives in their three forms were fed back to focus groups of managers, second to answer the question ‘What do managers say they need to support them in leading the implementation of reform?’ and third to ask ‘Do the needs expressed by the managers bear any relationship to what MacIntyre’s virtues-goods-practices-institution schema suggests is needed for a healthy institution?’
