Welcome to this month’s edition – now in our 10th anniversary year!

I often see articles about what makes a great leader, but rarely have I seen anything on what makes a great boss.  I wanted to re-address the balance and written something on the subject of great bosses in my experience.  I have chosen my three favourite bosses to illustrate the kind of person that makes them a great person to work for.  If you are responsible for others this is perhaps a good checklist to self-assess against.

I take my time choosing three video presentations for you each month which I hope will inspire and move you.  I think I have achieved this with the ones I have included this month.  I know how busy you are and you may not have time to watch them all, so if you only have time to take in one then I recommend Matthew Williams’ talk.  He is a Special Olympics Champion talking about how competition and camaraderie can transform lives.  Enjoy.

I have also included a blog post from my wife Joyce; ‘Being Bettina’s Mum & Dad:  Discovery & Endurance’. Joyce shares our experiences of how our daughter, who copes with learning disabilities and autism, has changed and shaped who we are today.

This month I have been delivering Project Management workshops for Thera’s ILM Qualification and a Webinar for Charityworks Management Trainees.  This has prompted me to include an excellent piece on Project Management in this month’s edition – if you are about to start a project this is essential reading, which I highly recommend to you.

This month’s quotes have been taken from my wife’s @JoyceRaw1 twitter feed – thanks Joyce.  I am also on Twitter: @DoshLtd sharing leadership thoughts at 7am, 7 days a week.  I welcome new followers!
