The last few years COVID, Great resignation and economic instability have combined to create a perfect storm of uncertainty. Leaders and organisations who view this as an opportunity will flourish. It’s about leaders being able to scan the environment and identify opportunities, enable their people to do the same, then to implement so their organisations are more agile and successful.
Chris has worked with organisations at key uncertain points in their growth and is a leading expert in this field, eg his work at Global Head of Leadership and Talent at UBS on the first implementation of “entrepreneurial leadership” within a corporate environment, now part of the Harvard Case study.
The one certainty is change. Success is about being ahead of the change curve by assessing the change needed, adapting to make it and accelerating ahead of the competition. Every leader must recognise the need for change, even in their own team, present an inspiring vision for change and get everyone behind making the change reality.
Chris expertise in this area is proven through many roles from Global Head of Leadership and Talent at UBS, now Harvard case study on creating a new global bank, to leading culture change on the restructuring of the London Underground and also as Honorary Visiting Professor of Transformational Leadership.
Inspiring everyone to give their best not only delivers high performance but it also grows talent. This is vital for the future of any organisation. Success in this based on using a set of simple principles and actions which leaders at all levels can implement to create a powerful talent generating system within a short time – simply a culture of growth and success. This enables more people to grow more quickly which then creates more high performers ready to become future talent.
