Using the art and science of psychotherapy to drive leadership and business performance

The Poetry of Leadership

McGrathI came across this poem by Roger McGough on a London Tube train years ago and it has stayed with me ever since. I often use it as an introduction to the challenges of leadership.

The Leader

“I wanna be the leader
I wanna be the leader
Can I be the leader?
Can I? Can I?
Promise? Promise?
Yippee I’m the leader
I’m the leader

OK what shall we do?”
