Editorial portrait of Joel Akande

Joel coaches people who have to say something difficult to someone with more power than them, or less. Before that he ran a leadership development practice serving FTSE-100 boards. He is preternaturally calm. We have asked and we cannot work out how. He writes for us on the small mechanics of disagreement.
