"So stop lying about me and I won't lie about our relationship. I've never met you but I promise you two can play the game," Rupert said.
Rupert said his success had been achieved with leadership that understands the value of creating a culture and tone that resonates with employees and customers, and was set right at the top in the head office.
“If you set the right culture for an organisation, then the loyalty that must go both ways can set in,” he said.
