(2.10) Vanilla Leadership: Not as bland as you might think

Send us a message!Vanilla has had a bad rap over the years. Often associated with blandness and things vaguely unremarkable, to be called 'Vanilla' can be experienced as a back-handed compliment at best, and a dismissal at worst.However, KG & Paul beg to differ. Over an impeccable bottle of 2004 Buller & Sons [now Buller Wines] Calliope Shiraz, they discuss the oft-derided word and dive a little deeper into one of the chapters in KG's recent book, 10 Leading Tools. In fact, this particular chapter whole-heartedly encourages us to 'Be Vanilla.' There's more to this word than meets the eye. Join us over a glass of your favourite beverage as we split this humble bean and let it spill its secrets. There's pizza and sushi involved too!Sláinte friends!We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation.
