Team Leadership

[Neil Coetzer]

Hi Matthew,

Thanks very much - those comments were very useful. The council group
sounds like a good idea for the future - we're still pretty small though
in Zimbabwe so it will be a while before we need to look at that, but
it's definitely worth keeping in mind as we grow.

Neil
