Got a curly question about leadership? Let's stop the watering down of the reality of leadership, management, organisations, and how humans interact. In The Raw Podcast does not undergo processes of preparing, dressing, finishing, refining, or manufacture - I take questions with very little notice and don't allow time for the 'corporate-washing' when giving answers plainly and honestly, with nothing hidden - why dilute stuff when humans' b******t detectors get set off? WARNING: My perspective may be provocative.
