“My advice to a new leader is to follow your moral compass and never stray from it, though there will be plenty of occasions where your values and principles will be put to the test. Don’t get intimidated by the intellectually “smart” people, who appear to have all the answers and who sometimes compromise their values. There are have been plenty of instances of this in the business sector and the public sector. And related to this is a very good leadership book that I recently read, What Keeps Leaders Up at Night, and on which I wrote a review. The personal challenge is to remain centered as a leader.”
