This is from their report called Trusting Times and it talks about how people can work inside a circle of trust and do multiple jobs outside their main work profession (obviously under common purpose's eyes) and how its a good idea [ahhem bu||S#it]
from their website
Nearly half (49%) of UK managers also have a leadership position outside of their paid jobs, according to a survey conducted by international leadership organisation Common Purpose. Furthermore, another 17 percent of those surveyed said they planned to take-up a leadership role outside of work over the coming year. Becoming a school governor, sitting on a public board, becoming a special constable, being volunteer councillor or getting involved in a community campaign are just some of the ways UK leaders are giving something back.http://www.commonpurpose.org.uk/home/resources/research.aspx
key findings of Trusting Times report
Over half (53%) of UK leaders won’t work with people they don’t already trust.
This is at odds with the new set of skills, ranked by leaders as important in the future, requiring them to work across organisational boundaries and extend their circles of trust well beyond the confines of their own organisations or departments.
When questioned further about these future leadership competencies, leaders revealed a lack of confidence in their ability to deliver them with over half doubting they can influence outside their organisation or department.
Worryingly, the top four confidence crushers for leaders are the same four skills that the leaders have earmarked as important for the future.
Moreover, most leadership training doesn’t help develop these new skills and leaders are unwilling to take the plunge and practice on the job.
