THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP. Why Human Skills Matter.
THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP. Why Human Skills Matter.

Soft skills, hard skills. Personally, I’m not a fan of these terms. I prefer human skills and technical skills because there is nothing soft about  human skills. They can be much harder to master.  In the realm of executive leadership, the spotlight often shines on technical expertise, strategic vision, and operational efficiency. While these elements are undeniably crucial, the significance of human skills should not be underestimated. Human skills, such as empathy, communication, and emotional intelligence, play a pivotal role in effective leadership.

THE CASE FOR CURIOSITY. Unlocking the Power of Innovation and Growth.

Curiosity killed the cat. 

Honestly, I detest this is a well-known proverb that warns of the dangers of unnecessary investigation or experimentation. It serves as a cautionary tale, warning individuals, especially children, about the potential risks of prying into matters that don’t concern them.

WANT TO BE A STRATEGIC LEADER? Managing Time is Everything.

Time is the most important asset we have. This has been known to get an eyebrow raise. “What about health? What about relationships” Yes, and you need time for all of those things. Time is a value system of mine and it translates across personal and professional domains.

READY TO FUEL INNOVATION IN YOUR COMPANY? Use THIS Approach.

I have always been driven by insatiable curiosity. This includes using quantitative data to drive innovation that leads to operational excellence and the qualitative approach in better understanding what drives human behaviour. You need quantitative to help drive decisions, the numbers don’t lie, but it's equally important to understand context.
