The Future of Leadership

• Book your place

About this event

Almost half of workers say they have become less career focused as a result of the pandemic, according to a study by Aviva. Reports of burnout, disillusionment and employee drift are increasingly common. As we look to the future, it is critical that employers re-engage their workforce. We must therefore consider the skills and characteristics we are going to need as leaders in the next year, 5 years, 10 years and beyond.

Leaders of the future will require both emotional intelligence and tactical skill, but how can we go about preparing and equipping ourselves for this? Paradoxically, one of the best ways to prepare ourselves for the future is by looking to the past. Drawing upon examples of great leadership in times of instability, change and crisis, this session will offer lessons from history that you can apply to the today and tomorrow of your leadership journey.
