    If Leadership is understood as Team to bring the company to new levels - this summary breaks down what is possible if right done. A very interesting insight worth to be studied and applied whenever possible. The Mix of experiences with role change under the strategic perspective and the 70-20-10 rule for development seems very rational. TX for that summarisation and direct-hit insight.
