Join us and Marcus Child for episode nine on Wednesday 10 June: ‘Leading for resilience and resourcefulness post-COVID-19’

COVID-19 gives leaders a chance to nurture agility, develop entrepreneurial thinking, and reset the culture in their business.

It’s a moment to: role model the true values; find new high performers; and galvanise teams into new ways of working.

We can seize this opportunity to exemplify composure and lead with deliberate calmness, grace and kindness. If we serve our people, customers and communities well, we can win fresh levels of engagement and respect - foundations for better business in the medium and long term.

In this webinar, Marcus Child, award-winning speaker and keynote speaker at the IWFM Conference 2019, will urge leaders to adopt a reset mindset, sharing practical tactics on how to:

• manage our state as leaders to achieve the role-modelling and decision-making that can change the tone and ultimately the game
• apply FIRO-B principles of inclusion, control and openness to achieve a spirit of commitment, even when people are working remotely
• enable and nurture a bright, positive, can-do soundtrack in our business, despite the external noise, fear and lack of composure
• share some insights into how to promote Resilience. Resilience has five fibres which we can take practical steps to nurture in our culture.

Registration details will be available from Friday 5 June.
