How great would your leadership culture be if everyone were held to account against those ten virtues? 

Acts of leadership from all corners of the organization is what you would get.

The power of stories..

One of the keys to leadership is the effective communication of a story, i.e., the meaning of a story. 

  • The stories are what animate our reflection process.
  • Stories give us permission to act.
  • Stories are flashes & photos of what we aspire to be.
  • Stories elicit emotive responses and connect.
  • Stories are ourselves
