I have met few people who exude leadership and compassion through their quiet presence. Pape listens and questions to understand and positions people to find their own answers. He has fundamental values that guide his decision making with a focus on people over process and a value on currency beyond money. Doing the right thing and money will follow is a rare business model to have which he does like no other. The depth of his experience brings value to his understanding of how business is performed across diverse cultures. He has spent most of his life coaching and mentoring which allows him to draw from the resources and relationships of those who respect and value his work. Pape has a gentle presence but a strong entrepreneurial spirit and astute business acumen. He is a rare breed of what I think will become the new leadership model in business creation. Canada and Nova Scotia would be privileged to have him.
