Academics, consultants, leaders, and authors Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones have not created a step-by-step manual for becoming an effective leader. In fact, they are adamant that such "recipes for leadership" don't even exist.

My friend has a very special friendship with her elderly neighbour. While my friend is at work, her neighbour, a spry 87-year old lady, takes her dog on long, happy walks throughout the neighbourhood and parks nearby. The neighbour gets fresh air and exercise, not to mention heaps of canine gratitude. My friend enjoys peace of mind knowing that her dog is in excellent care and she loves hearing about the adventures that her neighbour and dog share.
