An important part of our mission is to continually explore the issue of leadership and to share our discoveries with others. The way we see it, it’s our job as leaders in this industry to participate in a dialogue that challenges, provokes and perhaps even inspires. And we have a lot to say.
We regularly author articles for a variety of publications. Our column, “Leadership Lessons,” appears monthly in Business in Vancouver. We also deliver keynote speeches and presentations at conferences throughout North America. Whenever possible, we provide commentary on current leadership issues through other venues.
Below are some of our recently published articles. We invite you to read, debate and share.
