The world of management has two types of leaders: those who point and say 'do it because', and those who: roll up their sleeves and engage across all levels; are educated in processes and detail; and are able to challenge, mentor and progress through collaboration. It is easy to rule by fear, but do those who are ruled really follow? Does a team really become a team because of a title? Leadership is partnership, fellowship, mentoring and education, and getting down into the detail while being open to adaptation, manoeuvring and learning through trial and error. In a world of 'leaders', it is good to see that people like Matthew Webber still exist and thrive on collaborative partnership with the broadmindedness to always grow-both personally and with his team.

Matthew's transformational leadership has set the benchmark of what it is to be a leader and lead organisations on transformational journeys in 2024 and beyond. There is no more of the set and forget style of servient leadership (where leaders were often asked to sit back and become servants for their organisations). Replacing this style with a transformational leadership journey of mentoring, listening and activation allows leaders to lead and grow organisations whilst remaining authentic to achieving the best possible outcomes-those of growth, sustainability and ensuring an organisations long term strategy is aligned to its values and ultimately its people who they serve both internally and externally through leading and leadership.

Furthermore, Matt's many experiences through work, education and life have enabled him to be the consummate leader and professional we see today. I thoroughly appreciate Matt's structured discussions, insights and friendship, which I have used to influence and implement into my management style and roles.
