“Everybody talks about different leadership styles, but they all have something in common: the people. When you talk to your PM or Chief Officer, you don’t talk to the position; you speak to the man/woman. When you have a huge team to lead, it is essential to understand that they are humans with diverse personalities and interests. The only proper way to communicate with all of them at once is to establish a human connection. People work better when they are personally motivated. And so do I,” statesBogdan.
