The Easter weekend edition of Boss magazine from the Financial Review features an article on leadership by General Peter Cosgrove (former Chief of the Defence Force). He states, in part, "There are other traits essential for a leader: a sense of decency, moral courage, humility and compassion."
Sadly, these elements are lacking in the character makeup of many department heads at Charlie Q.
When the good General is Chairman we may stand a chance of once again becoming respected employees.
