Abstract

Don’t be afraid to change your mind. It’s a strength to admit when you’re wrong, not a weakness.

These are basic principles of leadership – let’s face it, no one enjoys working for someone who is too stubborn to admit when they have made a mistake.

So why is it that changing your mind is so catastrophic when it comes to politics?
It’s a question I’ve no doubt that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng have asked themselves numerous times over the last week.
