The more I work with leaders and their teams, the more I realise the critical importance of being very specific on who is in your corner. Much of the work I do with leaders is around Emotional Intelligence, specifically on self awareness and social awareness, and in the process, it still amazes me that the gravitational pull of the tribe is so strong, and very difficult to resist. It is therefore critical that we ask ourselves direct questions as to who is in our corner and who we will allow in our corner.
