AFTERNOON MASTERCLASS FOR CxOs (Limited to 60)
Leadership at the Top –
Running High Performing Organisations
The demands on leaders at the top of organisations have seldom been greater.
With the globe in turmoil, unpredictability and uncertainty are ever-present, markets are unsettled, and the social contract with the talent pool is in flux. Business as usual can be hard enough, but when overlaid with these factors and the challenges of matrix reporting and a dislocated workforce, the pressures on leaders can become acute.
This masterclass will provide insights on how to sustain focus and confidence to deal with these realities, whilst driving high performance.
REGISTRATION & LIGHT LUNCH
Sign-in and convene with fellow leaders in The Princess Ballrooms.
