Shared values and the cult of the team

In an article recently published with the Association of MBAs, our CEO, Jason Cobbold examines the leadership lessons that have emerged from the COVID-19 crisis. Read an excerpt below.

It is often said that moments of crisis reveal the true skills of a leader. Today’s generation of leaders has faced no challenge as great as the current crisis, and the contrasting responses of the global elite have given us some real insight into that elusive thing called ‘leadership’.

We love talking to humans in all kinds of ways. Calls are brilliant (although some of the younger humans find it weird that you’d speak to someone using your actual voice when you could just WhatsApp or slide into their DMs). Everyone loves an email, obvs, particularly our new business human (Matt).
