A leaders role - Finding the angel inside

Talent is the lifeblood of the business. We aspire to be a manager and then get bogged down in the some of the tough tasks that managers have to do, we can forget why we wanted to be a manager in the first place. Here's why....

"Michelangelo, when asked by a young boy why he was hitting a large piece of rock with his hammer and chisel replied, "Because there's an angel inside and I'm helping him to escape"

For me that is what management is about, we all have mundane work to do but we should never lose sight of our purpose - to find that talent in our people. We are here to create the future, we are hear to find the angel inside....
