I'm a very consistent leader, and people won't find me different day to day. You won't have to have the sort of conversation that says, 'How is she today? Is this a good day to have this conversation?' You won't find that situation with me. I treat people with respect. -- Gail Kelly

No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better.
