In recent comms with a business colleague of mine, we were chewing on, what makes a great leader and what makes a bad leader – there is many examples out there on what makes a great leader - having traversed the globe working with many great leaders, I’ve stumbled upon several that should not have been in a leadership role at all!

A good while back a young leader reached out to me, with the following call for help, as we were entering the “new norm”, post COVID, “MC, with your track record in transforming business, what’s your secret sauce?"

A friend of mine reached out to me this weekend for a quote to use in another book he is writing. This is the quote I shared for use:

I recently watched a great podcast hosted by Staffing Industry Titan, Suky Sodhi , with Andrea Mancini , Vice President of Sales at Adecco Canada – “How to Perfectly Balance Empathy and Assertiveness in Leadership”.

Brian Kennedy , Staffing industry M&A guru, reposted my recent scribbles “To AI or to Automate? So be the question!...or, as the co-pioneer of BPR, Michael Hammer quoted: "Don’t Automate, Obliterate!"

I am fascinated by AI and spending time getting my head around it – GREAT podcast recently hosted by Staffing Industry Titan, Suky Sodhi Sodhi and Cartwheel’s Laura Boivin . How to use A.I. and Automation in the Staffing Industry

Have you ever watched a great team in action? Especially at the end of the game? What I find interesting is that as the game progresses, the “substitutes” or “bench” becomes more and more important.

It all begins with an idea -.As leaders, it’s our mission to help each and every one navigate their journey to where they will shine the brightest!
