Jason Dawn is an old colleague of mine who now runs a successful coaching business called Expand.
One of his favourite phrases is ‘We are all the chief executives of our own desk’
It’s a simple but powerful thought.
The principles of great leadership don’t have to be limited to people in positions of seniority. It’s easy to observe best practice behaviours and emulate them in the way we work.
Look at the leaders in your business and see how they stay connected, take responsibility and keep other people in the loop.
We’re can all be leaders, even if the seniority we enjoy is limited to our own immediate vicinity.

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
