Leadership for the new world of work
The leadership task has changed!
What are leaders learning about how to build effective organisations in which their people can grow, despite uncertainty and change caused by the COVID crisis . The crisis has intensified socio-economic and multicultural inequities, as well as employment precarity for many. How do leaders respond ethically and proactively to ensure diverse clients and employees are heard and served?
In this fast-paced conversation, we asked guest speakers Jodie Auster and Susan Ogden what they have learnt about themselves as leaders, how they have maintained a sense of connection and purpose with employees and what learnings and insights they intend to sustain.
