More quotes by Debbie Hewitt

My organisational style is based on two principles which I hope are making The FA a better organisation. First, what’s the aim?

Whether it is an opportunity we are trying to grasp or a problem we are trying to solve, it’s very important that we all understand the question we are trying to answer. Second, who’s accountable?

Our executives then communicate and deliver on that strategy. I try hard to give them space to do that, hopefully recognising when they need support to do so."
