What KPMG’s ‘stop moaning’ boss Bill Michael tells us about pandemic leadership – The Australian Financial Review
COVID-19 has accentuated the difference between managers who embrace conflict, and those who avoid it, writes Aaron Patrick.

I know that words matter and I regret the ones I chose to use today, he said in a group email. I think lockdown is proving difficult for all of us. I am very sorry for what I said and the way that I said it.
