Welcome to another chapter of our 10/10 series, where we engage with trailblazing leaders from various fields who are redefining leadership. We delve into their top 10 things they are looking for in a leader and the 10 things they are working on as leaders themselves. We asked them to keep these snapshots brief – rapid, accessible, and endlessly inspiring.
We'd love to hear which insights resonate with you and what you’re working on as a leader. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, as you always have.
This time round we’re super proud to feature…
