Dare to Dream Part 2
From WeAreTheCity’s Future Leader’s Blog Last week we talked about how important it is to dream about what we want to achieve in our career or in life generally. And that’s all fine, but to just dream probably won’t make a big difference. What we can do is to use our dreams to get creative about our own vision and help to shape the future that we want. The dreaming we do helps us to build a successful life for ourselves and make the...

Time to become a Chief Enabling Officer?
From WeAreTheCity's Future Leader's Blog We’re all familiar with the CEO, the Chief Executive Officer. Sure. But how about the Chief ENABLING Officer? Have you seen her/him? This is the new take on being a CEO. Nothing new about it per se; leadership was always about enabling others to do a great job. The difference lies in the awareness.
