    TODAY’S employees are looking for more than managers who just tell them what to do. They need true leaders who can guide them to rewarding fulfilment in their chosen professions or vocations.

    Employees are moving beyond taking just any job for the pay cheque – they are seeking purpose, self-mastery and peak performance; and are yearning to achieve balance in their lives.
