Why everyone should have – and be – a mentor

One of the best, but scary, things for me about applying for the LGComms Future Leaders course was the prospect of having my very own allocated mentor for a whole year. I recall joining a leadership conversation years ago where there was discussion about the need to have a mentor in order to succeed.

Telling truth to power

The first mistake people make in telling truth to power is in assuming that power is interested in hearing it.

Most powerful people who are on the brink of doing something unwise will know.

They’ll be looking for the opposite – reassurance that despite the risk of untoward outcomes, they’re doing the right thing.
