The media portrayal of ‘bosses’ gives the wrong impression of what leaders and managers do. The bullying ego-maniac is not a good role-model. Empathy and respect are as important as decisiveness. Skilful means and intelligent analysis are more important than self-confidence.

I’m CEO at Articulate Marketing and Turbine and long ago at Intelligent Games. I write about wine at Vincarta and (occasionally) about aviation at Golf Hotel Whiskey and Forbes.
