Samuel Muchoki completed the Incubator program in Melbourne, and in the style of a New Testament epistle, he wrote a letter of reflection and encouragement to the rest of his Incubator cohort.
We spoke with author and consultant, Leigh McLeroy. She has a strong warning for leaders: Don't surround yourself with sycophants and loyalists.
"Sometimes people reach a position where they're surrounded by people who can no longer afford to tell them the truth, and they end up with a lot of "yes" people and no one who really is fearless enough or has the ability to say to them this is how it really is.
And, what happens is they get so isolated and so locked in that they no longer hear the truth, and the people around them, whether it is out of loyalty or love or fear or respect or whatever, no longer say it to them. And, so I think that isolation, pride, arrogance---I think every leader probably has to face that and fight that."
