The four essential tasks of leadership: direction, people, money, and letting go

I also realised that there are only actually three things that matter for a top leader: Setting direction, Appointing great people, Knowing where the money's coming from

If your people don't know where they're meant to be going, they're highly unlikely to get there.

Organisations without clear direction can find lots of ways to be busy but that work is essentially unproductive.

I had time to think about what the key tasks of leadership are when my startup was suddenly annihilated by the pandemic.

Having realised, I can see that Sir Keir Starmer just doesn't have those particular skills.
