Editor's Notes
- #2 Why are you here? – (Singapore Airlines Story)Why a new approach?Because the world is changing. Arrogant, command control leadership kills creativity and cripples resilience.Because it is tough to be a leader, we often find ourselves in positions of leadership unprepared to and without a road map to deal with challenges.Because we need leaders who we can trust and who can inspire their people to lead themselves.

- #4 Imagine a large chess board. Now consider you are a piece on this chess board.Are you a porn; moving slowly forward with little choice and at the mercy of other more powerful pieces? Are you a Knight, able to take risks and attack, but with little concern for your own safety?Perhaps you are a bishop, able to move rapidly but constrained to a diagonal path from which you may not deviate?Or you may think of yourself as Rook, solid and safe but not very adventurous?A King? Very important but requiring other pieces to serve and defend you.Which leaves the Queen; Highly flexible and adaptable, able to move in any directions?You know what you shouldn’t be, a piece of wood being pushed around by someone bigger than you.This simple metaphor of a chessboard gives helps us to consider whether we are fully utilising our Self-leadership.

The author faced the loss of his business in Australia through fierce international competition and began his consulting business from a backpacker hostel in Kings Cross in Sydney using the internet.
