I believe character is the cornerstone of every successful group — whether it’s a family, a company, or a global organization. Through this blog, I explore leadership and the qualities that define truly great leaders.
My career has taken me across industries — from film and retail to finance, healthcare, and IT — and through it all, one truth has remained constant: leadership matters more than industry expertise. Skills can be taught. Character must be chosen.
Here, I share insights, experiences, and reflections from my ongoing journey to grow as a leader. I hope you find these thoughts both thought-provoking and inspiring as you navigate your own path.

I listened to your interview on the Tech Lead Journal and was impressed by how much I learned in 44 minutes! You’ve obviously got a wealth of experience. Very interesting to read that Leadership trumps expertise. Can Leadership be taught and if so, in what way?
Leadership definitely can be taught but I find it’s a lifelong journey. It is taught through exposure to ideas (great books, podcasts, etc) and then observing great leaders. I think when we identify someone as a great leader, it’s important to ask what makes them a great leader and distill that down into characteristics and activities. Mentors are another great way to grow as a leader as they can guide a person one on one. A book could probably be written on this question 😉
