What kind of a leader are you?
My leadership adjusts based on the situation the company or project is in. I am constantly learning and improving my style, based on education, on experience and on feedback.

Can good leadership be taught?
Yes, good leadership can be taught, but requires the person wanting to be a leader to be open minded and always willing to learn and listen. You learn by personal experience, by attending training, by looking at how other people deal with situations, by reading books or magazines.

How do you tackle human resource issues?
A Human Resources department is critical in supporting the leaders of the business to tackle HR issues, and to attract, develop and retain people. However, this task cannot be and should not be delegated to HR alone. Each business leader and manager needs to be on top of it as well.

Apart from doing well financially, what factors are important for a person to be considered ‘successful’?
Making a difference – having a profession and not just a job – enjoying the company of co-workers and celebrating successes together. A successful leader creates a vision and supports the company in achieving this vision. A successful leader is flexible about how to achieve the vision but never compromises the ultimate goal. People follow this leader because they trust him, not because they fear him.
