The last couple of months have bought massive change to the way that we work, adapting and evolving is more important than ever to a company’s success.
Leaders are having to embrace change and try new things whilst preparing for an uncertain future.
The old leadership style of “command and control” is no longer fit for purpose, during the pandemic female leaders globally have demonstrated how to lead in a crisis and take people with them.
What are the qualities that female leaders can bring to the fore that will make staff feel valued, create champions for change within your teams and achieve the goals and objectives of your business?
In this Senior Leadership Academy workshop, our expert speakers will delve into the subject of leading change and how to help your team navigate it.
