Leadership perspectives

Leadership in a volatile and uncertain world. What does this look like to you?

Earlier today, I visited the excellent Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) for a lively panel discussion. Hosted at the new Executive Education Centre, it was an opportunity to hear first hand how leading organisations are embracing leadership in a post-pandemic world.

(It was also the first time I’d visited AMBS since early 2020!)

Facilitated by Michael Taylor (The Business Desk), the panel included Lisa Shaftesley (Booking.com), Jo Ahmed (Deloitte) and Dr Courtney Owens (AMBS).

Key takeaways from the event.

• We’re in a global market for global talent.

• Hybrid working and flexibility is expected by new recruits.

• The world has shifted—leaders need to trust people to do the right thing.

• Building resilience, relationship building and communication skills are vital.

• Gen Z are a very demanding and savvy bunch!

A big thanks to the team at AMBS for hosting the event. Always inspired.
