Alex, firstly whatever your cleaning your crystal ball with it's obviously a superior product. The crystal clear view you have and how you write with great clarity and insightfulness' is refreshing. Financial companies leadership is akin to federal politics' and associated politician's. In my experience leadership in the financial services sector isn't about your strength of character, your leadership qualities or even your IQ. How easily your able to be moulded by the board to be their patsy and spread their rhetoric in a robotic fashion without questioning truth, discovery or long term detrimental effects, is what ultimately counts. If you can live and work devoid of integrity? There stands a leader in todays financial sector.
