Leading people early in my career to allow them to succeed and achieve their goals.
3. How do you structure your work days from waking up to going to sleep?
5am wake up; read, go to gym, and be in the office by 8-9am each morning. Minimise meetings and focus on key matters only.
4. What's a recent leadership lesson you've learned for the first time or been reminded of?
Right people in right places are key to performance so when people don’t change, then change the people.
5. What's one book that has had a profound impact on your leadership so far? Can you please briefly tell the story of how that book impacted your leadership?
I don’t have the preferred book, movie; actor, singer or politician. There are too many and they all matter and contribute. Sorry - no answer here.
6. If you could only give one piece of advice to a young leader, what would you say to them?
