    Horizontal relationships!?

    Welcome to the Business Purpose Trends podcast.  What do we mean by 'horizontal relationships'? Why is it critical for leaders and organisations? And what is the role of purpose? A close colleague, Natalie, forwarded a paper on Better Decision-making to me and I went down a few rabbit holes after that, ultimately honing in on 4 key areas and the role that purpose plays from a commercial / performance perspective. I'd love your ideas and feedback, and you can get in touch with me via trends@philpreston.com.au or use this form to submit questions, insights or views. I'm a speaker, facilitator, author and strategist. If you'd like to explore working together, email me via hello@philpreston.com.au Thanks again for tuning in. Phil Preston
