Is Membership the truest form of Leadership?

Perspectival Thinking

Contextual Thinking

Network Thinking

From culture to informal networks, explore the value created between organizational groups and people.

“In every confrontation, and in every conversation, there is an opportunity to be the better person, or to prove that someone else is.”
