What KT leaders say:
Jeff Skinner - "I learnt how to lead, one mistake at a time. I was very poorly equipped to manage anyone and would do it very differently next time. I should have demanded some leadership training - it would have been such a great investment!"
Helena Montiel - "I knew how to do the technical aspects of my roles but once I began a management career, my primary mission was clear: leading my team. I was fortunate to have various sources of support and mentors (friends and colleagues), and a network of influential people both within and outside my institution.

Sean Fielding - "In the early part of my career I just didn't think enough about the leadership elements. I should have provided much better support for a lot of brilliant staff who would have probably done a much better job. I let them down, really "
