Summary of the Activity
I had conducted an enjoyable and valuable interview with a leader that I admire through his leadership style. He is an effective leader in the company that I work for, which is one of the top 50 international corporations in the telecommunication industry. He is successful in his job, therefore, I decided to interview him to learn useful knowledge and practices. We contacted via Skype for half an hour, and we covered the following: what motivates him; how he became an effective leader; what are some good leadership practices; and how he could reach the success.

At the end of the interview, he said to me that he does not claim
