HOW CHIEF EXECUTIVES & SENIOR LEADERS DRIVE & MANAGE CHANGE


November 3, 2011, Manchester Art Gallery 15.45 - 19.30


This is an invite only event for Chief Executives & Senior Leaders.

If you would like to attend, please email Val Kelly.


Today’s business leaders make decisions in an increasingly unpredictable business environment.

In a recent study of 1,500 CEOs worldwide, more than 60 percent believed that their businesses today were more volatile, uncertain and complex than they were even 12 months previously (IBM Global Business Services, 2010).

We know that change is the norm, but what is striking is how fast it is happening. Compared with only one generation ago, the amount of incoming data leaders need to process has multiplied hugely and our processor (the brain) isn’t keeping pace. In this environment, the quality of leadership matters more than ever.  So, how do we equip senior leaders for the rapid speed of today’s business?

One answer is to work with a business coach. The guest speaker for this event, Anne Scoular founder of Meyler Campbell and author of the Financial Times Guide to Business Coaching, says that great coaching is, ‘the equivalent of plugging in some extra processing capacity. With a great coach, it’s like plugging into the National Grid – a surge of energy and a clear focus that recharges the batteries and hauls us back up to peak form.’

Join us for our inaugural networking event where we will:

 

  • Demonstrate the Big 5 approach to coaching and how it enables business success
  • Offer a brief introduction to the hot new science underpinning the big 5 approach
  • Showcase the latest findings from neuroscience and their relevance for leadership effectiveness.
  • Provide an opportunity for you to think through the key leadership challenges for you and your organisation.

After the event you will receive a key learnings summary which captures the key insights from the event.
