How can a leader create a fun culture by being authentic?

Dean Talbot – Chief Sales and Service Executive (Banking)

Leaders have had to step up in a big way in the last 12 months…and will continue to have to do so ..in the recovery ahead!

It was a learning experience for everyone, but one that clarified the importance of positive leadership.

It seems counterintuitive to suggest that work should be fun, right? Our whole lives we’ve been taught “work hard, play hard”. But why can’t work be fun in itself?
