The leadership style that the leaders adopt during engagement is critical in gaining team member support for building a positive thinking team.

I don’t think I could have predicted how different the technological landscape would look to what I started out using. Equally, the economic and political landscapes that also shape the context of our work are hugely different to what life was like 20 years ago.
