Episode 2: Leadership Reflections with Stephen Huppert
“In every interaction we have, we leave an emotional wake. You have a chat to somebody, it might be one of your team, it might be a manager or might be a senior manager. It might be a client. When you leave that room, you will leave a wake behind. You will leave an impression. Are you thinking about that?”
