Much of the support we provide to clients relates to nurturing effective leadership as a means to driving business success.
Indeed, Effective Leadership is one of the two "Do not pass go, do not collect $200" elements in our 8 Elements to Achieving Success Through People© model. Of course, we know that we are not alone in our efforts to support businesses in this regard, and there is a plethora of research on what makes for effective leadership. That said, it's often the simple things that work the best, so it is in that spirit that we present for you one of our favourite all-time thought-starters on leadership (with apologies if you are 1 of the other 4.5 million people to have already viewed it!).
