Leadership is not being always right..
Great Leaders coach from the background rather than standing in the spotlight.
The future of leadership is diverse, compassionate, inspired, holding complexity and hopefully more and more female (sorry, I am biased here ;-)).
When I think of a leader, I think of an enabler that supports his/her team members to bring their best sides to the work place every day.
