Great leaders believe in their team – even more than they do in themselves. Here’s a story about the late, great John R Caldon – an inspirational leader and former Deputy MD of Macquarie Group. In 1990, John was the head of a rising but little known division at Macquarie called PSF: Project and Structured […]
