It was premeditated, carried out in full view of the cameras and junior players seem to have been “thrown him under a bus”. As leaders, what can we learn from this sorry tale?
The expectations placed on leaders have increased dramatically in the past few years. It is no longer enough to just manage the business and inspire people - you need to be constantly growing, developing and transforming yourself for tomorrow's reality. Many leaders are turning to coaching...
