Going Against The Grain with Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa
On today’s episode, I talk to Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa about authentic leadership and staying true to oneself in order to effectively lead yourself, lead others and lead the culture.
Tokunbo takes us on a journey to his past and explains how a courageous decision around being true and authentic has helped shape his life.
We touch on a range of topics and Tokunbo drops many gems around the power of language, dealing with Covid-19 nine weeks into a new role, working with young people from marginalised communities and what leadership means to him.
