Successful leadership is about being boldly boring!
Entrepreneur, author and former CMO Roy Osing dares to be different - in fact, he insists on it and helps his clients to do the same! Roy is a one of a kind leadership thinker with little patience for those who practice performative creativity instead of getting their hands dirty with the real thing. He has grown a start-up to billion dollar sales and authored seven books in his ‘Be Different or Be Dead’ series. Roy shares his contrary leadership philosophies from falling in love with micromanaging to his human-centric hiring process.

Create don’t copy - that’s a leadership priority for standing out
We explore: leadership principles for excelling at execution
Delegation can be a leadership abdication
Real leadership means hogging the strategy
Micromanaging is a leadership responsibility
