The passing of former prime minister Brian Mulroney has sparked a re-examination of his legacy and his unique brand of leadership. This article explores why more businesspeople should consider running for political office, drawing inspiration from Mulroney's journey from successful lawyer to prime minister.
The passing of former prime minister Brian Mulroney has led to a re-examination of his legacy.
