James Laughlin never took a business leadership course, yet managed teams by staying credible and part of the group rather than flaunting perks like business-class travel or fancy hotels. He argues leadership is less about formal training and more about how you actually behave.
I hadn't been a trained business leader through any kind of courses, that I had to be a different kind of leader and I had to be a credible leader and I had to be one of the team, even though I was obviously the boss and obviously was earning more money. And I got the business class travel and stayed in the fancy hotels. People knew that, but people wanted that because that was part of their career path as well, as long as you didn't flaunt it.
