» It's now been two years since we first encountered Covid-19, during which time most organisations have become familiar with remote working, among many other adjustments. As we accept and prepare to live with Covid, and maybe future pandemics, requiring all employees to come to the office every day is certainly a thing of the past.

» It's no exaggeration to say that we are in living in a "do whatever I want" world. For example, riding against the traffic is the norm for motorcyclists, especially delivery drivers seeking to cash in on the huge spike in Covid-era demand.

» Recently I had a conversation with a client who is a senior executive with a large multinational corporation. He told me that several top executives who have participated in my leadership development programmes have been promoted or rotated to higher responsibilities, in domestic as well as overseas locations. Thanks to this company's continuous dedication to managing talent and succession, it has never encountered a shortage of managers or top executives.

» Leadership is a subject that has been discussed ever since human society first began to form.
