And now a little more about the business of being a responsible leader from our founder,
Professor Francis Kahn:
A responsible leader is a very strange animal. Why? Because they need to be very focussed, driven, professional, and business-oriented, but at the same time they have to look at the environment to ensure that everyone gets what they need and deserve. Every stakeholder, client, and authority. They need to be sure that they are diligent. That everything is done in the right way, without shortcuts, and with everyone’s best interests at heart.
