Last week I was in Vancouver to complete my second, and final, stage of data collection. I conducted six interviews with CEOs and CPOs. They all went very well. It was useful to have completed the two interviews in Toronto the week before because it enabled useful revisions to the interview schedule and allowed me to test my recording solutions. The interviews were all very illuminating and I was most struck by the range of perspective related business strategy but the consistency of view on effective leadership qualities and behaviours.
I am taking a break from research this weekend. I am simply completing this post and updating my project plan. I have also scheduled meetings with both my supervisors so I have some deliverables to complete in the upcoming weeks to be ready for these meetings.
Overall, things are tracking well.
