Leadership

Leadership is something I’ve grown passionate about, not because I want to call the shots, but because I’ve received great leadership, crappy leadership and the absence of leadership. It’s only after those ups and downs did I realise the value of great leadership, and how to diagnose the bad. The…

When things are going right, turn left.
