Quotations:


"..it's often said over the years that a firm is a reflection of the owner..” - Jamie Johns


“There any obvious gaps in what you would implement it or the leadership skills that you kind of identified within the business that you had and you've since worked on bridging..” - Brenton Ward


“We're talking about leadership as a whole, and now talking about leadership in three different areas, the whole conversation becoming a better leader can be somewhat overwhelming.” - Brenton Ward


“One said that don't try and change others to try and change yourself first. That's easier said than done a natural and natural state is that it's everybody else's fault, not mine. And you crack this, everybody else's fault, then you can't change things unless you change yourself first. “- Ed Chan


“So if you focus your attention on the solution, you find solutions, but if you look for problems, then you find those as well. And if your excuse, you find those as well.“ - Ed Chan
