They said: “She takes the time to listen to ideas from the most junior members in her team.

Royal insider on Kate Middleton
It seems Kate Middleton is more prepared than ever for her future role as Queen Consort, after friends claim she's "reinvented her style”.
Once upon a time, public speaking would be "nerve wracking" for Kate, but now, according to friends, the Duchess has become more confident, stylish and self-assured.
A pal added: “Kate’s view is that Queen, country and family come first. She is very clear on her priorities and the values that guide how she lives and works.”
Kate's "quiet transformation" could be in part thanks to her close relationship with her grandmother-in-law, the Queen.
Earlier this year, the Duchess was made a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, which is the highest rank equivalent of a Knight.
Awards in the Royal Victorian Order are bestowed personally by the Queen for services to the Sovereign.
Kate and Her Maj are said to share a very close relationship, and the award is thought to highlight Kate's important work as a member of the royal family.
Once Prince William takes the throne and becomes the King of England, Kate will then be known as the Queen Consort.
"She is now more open with what she wants to say, and funnily enough, she is more relaxed as well," a friend told .
"She is an adoring mother, and she is contributing publicly in the way we would want her to,” adds an insider.
“You see it more and more. The young student has turned into our future Queen.”
