Here are three takeaways:
- You can’t be the best kept secret : share your gifts, and let others know what you’re great at
- Speaking is a skill and can be taught to anyone keen to learn
- With the war on talent, it is even more important to invest in your people. Leadership development should start earlier or you end up with leaders practicing bad leadership and hurting others and the organization.
