We are a charity website still in development and you could really help by telling us what you think of the site. Once you have had a chance to see the site, would you take part in a very short, confidential survey? You just have to click Launch Survey (it will open in a new window). Thank you very much.

I think being present is very important at all times. I once worked in a large charity. It was very rare to see the CEO on floors other than her own but it would have made a massive difference to the perception we had of her to actually see her. She was very present in regular all-staff emails (which she signed off rather than wrote) but was not very visible personally.
Surely it wouldn't have taken that much time out of a busy day to wonder round the building? Maybe she preferred being seen as remote or maybe she just didn't realise the difference it would make.
