Ruth Simpson: At a time when we demand more than ever from our senior leaders, why do we continue to underinvest in them?

Session on 24 November 2020 11:30 UTC - View on timetable

Session

This dialogue will focus on exploring how the demands on senior leaders are evolving and what we could be doing differently to support their development and performance. Ruth will offer input on her experience and PhD research and there will be two opportunities for discussion. The first will explore the demands currently being placed on senior leaders, including arising out of the Covid pandemic. Based on the output from the first discussion, the second will explore what could be done to enable senior leaders to meet these demands.

Learning outcomes

I anticipate we will end the session with a greater awareness of what is being demanded of senior leaders and how they could be supported and enabled to meet these demands.
