How to encourage employees to make mistakes, confidently
Unlike in the movies, mistakes happen. Many projects are launched with the best intentions and end up missing the mark. I remember being told a story about a young leader who tabled his resignation after a project went wrong, costing the organisation $2M. His boss smiled at the resignation letter on his desk and replied: “Why should I let you go, when I have just invested $2M in your education?”.

How to build an employer brand on LinkedIn which sells
A strong employer brand is a powerful tool for talent attraction and retention which reduces hiring costs. It tells job seekers about your company’s mission, values and culture.

Why age is just a number when starting a tech business
Founding a tech startup isn't an endeavour reserved for the “young”. While there might be famed stories of young Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg all beginning businesses at an early age, there are plenty of examples where founders turned their hand to beginning a tech start-up at a later stage in their career too.
