Thanks David nice to see you here too!

Excellent point and a great post, which describes so well the contradictions of great vs popular for me.   Looking back over my career, I would say one of the biggest mistakes I have seen by leaders is assuming  the people they lead think like them, and many become frustrated when they are misunderstood. Another mistake is when leaders don't realise the impact they have on their followers.  And my final top 3 mistakes is when leaders have low expectations of their followers and people then live up to that expectation. I think brilliant though the new leader was, she instantly fell into all three traps.  A big learning curve!

Thanks again David as always your input is  greatly appreciated.
