It’s a while since I’ve mentioned our MD Julian Pullan.
So this one’s for him.
Well, it’s about him anyway.
Last week he and I went to a meeting with a new client.
Ordinarily, taking your MD to a meeting can sometimes feel a bit like ‘Bring Your Boss To Work Day’.
Stick them in a corner, keep them amused and hope they don’t get into mischief.
Thankfully, Julian’s not that kind of a boss.
Most importantly, he never feels the need to point out that he IS the boss.
He’s just one of the team.
He rolls up his sleeves.
He gets involved.
And he listens.
He’s also happy to defer to the most junior person in the room, if they have a great idea.
Leadership should be based on actions, not ego.
Unfortunately, I doubt too many people can say the same thing about their leader.
