I need to objectively show my weaknesses and the mistakes I make. Never feel a sense of entitlement and perform better tomorrow than today.
In episode 1 of Series 2 of Leadership 2050 Andrew talks to Toto Wolff, the CEO and Team Principal of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, about life and success in the fast lane.
