But rather than read what I say, read what a close associate said:

  • What I have appreciated and continue to appreciate in you:
  • The clarity of your thinking (not many other people around seem to think about context and approach);
  • Your insight – into individuals and situations;
  • Your warmth and humour (which helps carry your intellectual clarity/insight);
  • Your concern for and interest in others (both in terms of helping and facilitating others and your willingness to share ideas etc)
  • Your diversity and flexibility (you continue to surprise me with your inclusiveness and flexibility
  • Your pragmatism – to break down the complex in theory and action into simple and understandable steps;
  • Your willingness to say it how it is and speak the truth;
  • Your leadership – you combine gravitas with the collaborative.
