It’s Father’s Day in New Zealand this Sunday 6 September. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Many of our mental models in life come from our childhood and it seems to me that our fathers will have had an influence on our leadership journey. What sort of leader is or was your father? I’d love to hear your stories.
Credit where credit is due: My thinking started in this area from Mike Rogers, someone also passionate about leadership who posed the same question at the time of the USA Father’s Day in June. Thanks Mike. www.secondg.net/fathersStephen Drain's Leadership Blog

Leadership is learned wherever we go and keeping an open heart and mind will grow your leadership. One of the special people for me in leadership development is New Zealand's pre eminent Poet Sam Hunt. Sam is available for Corporate, Industry and Private events. Sam has entrusted me to help him to secure appropriate places to perform so feel free to contact me if you'd like to think about getting Sam along to your place.
You can connect with me also on the Stephen Drain Leadership Facebook page.
