A Remarkable Leader put people first and his/she enable people with the right capabilities his/she needs to succeed. A Great & Remarkable leader shaping his/her and our future, not reacting to it, his/she is courageous enough to abandon a practice that has made him/her successful in the past, but will not make him/her successful in the future.
He/she builds also great teams around him/her that are diverse, innovative and courageous, to help him/her succeed every day…
