Highlights

“Leaders have to think differently about what leadership means in a post-pandemic world. They need to adopt the hats of the synchroniser, the innovator, the coach and the chief collaborator.”
“In order to work on our teams rather than in them, it can help all Insight leaders to document and develop their ideas in an Insight playbook. It can help us move from being transactional leaders to transformational leaders.”
“The vision is to move away from individual projects and see the value of focusing on accumulated knowledge. But what are the habits and enablers that successful Insight teams adopt to make that happen?”
