Here’s a leadership manifesto for 2026
1. Lead with integrity by keeping your word and following through on commitments.
2. Communicate with clarity and respect, especially when conversations are difficult.
3. Take ownership of mistakes and use them as opportunities to learn and improve.
4. Invest in your people by supporting their growth, celebrating their contributions, and offering help without conditions.
5. Respect boundaries and recognise that people work, think, and perform differently.
6. Show up consistently, not only when visibility or recognition is at stake.
7. Listen more than you speak, and actively seek to understand what is being said.
8. Give credit generously, understanding that recognising others strengthens, rather than weakens, your leadership.
