consistency, and if your people know what they can expect from you, they will continue to look to you for leadership.

 … that lack of authority prevents you from leading effectively, it is time to rethink your understanding of leadership.

Leadership is…

… practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

You have to…

– Anita Roddick

Co-leadership should…

….. permeate every organisation at every level.
