Willing Leader, Good Leader?
Here is an interesting food-for-thought – for a leader to be a “good” leader, must the leader be a willing leader? Think about all those anti-heroes. The unwilling saviour. The reluctant chieftain. The accidental leader. If a person has strong leadership traits, have the competencies of a leader, gets the respect and fellowship of the…

My brother-in-law lives in Sydney. I remember the days when it was actually easy to book a flight there.

What’s in a name?
Marketing today is no longer fun. Performance metrics aside, many companies have just simply lost the love for magic. Top management are more concerned about “corporate image”, “market positioning” and a whole slew of other marketing must-have’s. Fortunately, I know that there are pockets of fun still to be found. I want to repeat a…

But going online adds a whole new dimension of technical requirements that are not found in conventional media. But if you thought deeper into this, it might not be completely true. For example, in print, you will need to deal with…
