“Robin, what you bring to an organisation needs to be known
by the entire corporate world. Managers should shift from managing
to leading, and that can be achieved with them becoming aware
of the fact that every person has something unique
to bring to an organisation.
Your talent, your innovative ideas, your experience, your creativity
enable a company to look at running a business differently,
in a simpler, creative and innovative way.
Thank you for helping us be aware.”
