In this week’s Quick Coffee, we are revisiting the topic of leadership but this time from a different angle. We are reflecting on our encounters with leaders over the years and the negative leadership styles we observed in the process. What attributes are characteristic of a negative leadership style? How do these attributes come about? And what can one do to overcome them?

Grab a coffee and listen in as we unpack the leadership development process and discover what one should and should not do to become a great leader.
