Remembering Joy Gillies

Right at the end of last year, we were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Joy Gillies, a Global Fellow, dear colleague and friend of many years. I last caught up with her at the end of November when she was still able to summon the energy for a chat and a hug. A month later, she was finally relieved of the constant pain of her cancer.

Moving above the line as a team

Like individuals, teams can operate above the line or below the line. Like individuals, a team operating above the line will generally be more effective and higher performing. And like individuals, given the right circumstances a team can choose to work together to move themselves above the line.
