Read More You Cannot Be Serious: A Word On The Least LikelyThere was this organisation that I was a part of at one point. Their leadership team was made of four people. Those four people were tight. There was a clear understanding of what they contributed to the development of the organisation and over the years they forged something so powerful that anyone joining the organisation […]
Read More Upheld By The PillarsWhen you have to give up something you value and I have to give up something I value so that we can get along on something together, apparently that’s a compromise.
