Sadly, I've seen many instances where senior people have espoused teamwork, leadership and associated qualities as long as it didn't apply to them!

Leaders who are low key yet effective, rare quality, Philip certainly fits that mould. Appropriate topic given recent events for me.

Their personal integrity and values does make it easy for them because it generates respect.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-73543107122493929622017-05-15T17:48:13.566+12:002017-05-15T17:48:13.566+12:00Thanks Brandy!

I often think of those who influenced my life's decisions and my career choices, and these were neither celebrities nor politicians or philosophers or otherwise impacting the world in a profound way. These people had an impact on my life though, and that's what's made them important to me.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-24411439610642058462017-05-15T01:37:01.231+12:002017-05-15T01:37:01.231+12:00Great post Geoff.

Just think how good the world would be if our politicians and top business people acted in such a manner. There really is no excuse - it makes life easier in many ways.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-28939878923217354592017-05-14T18:25:41.603+12:002017-05-14T18:25:41.603+12:00Hi Geoff
