Leading an organisation in today’s world means coming face to face with a number of realities. Everybody is looking for leadership that is insightful and inspirational, but every action is pored over in minute detail on social media, around the coffee machine and on Glassdoor.

But this visibility is not without risks; a word that is misunderstood or poorly chosen, spoken to the media or posted on social media, can be taken out of context, misinterpreted and twisted.
