The business of leading through a crisis

The business of leading through a crisis

How senior in-house counsel can flex their leadership styles to lead themselves, their teams and their stakeholders through difficult times.

The last five years have asked a lot of in-house leaders. First Brexit, then a pandemic and now a new era of international and economic instability. The volume and complexity of work for in-house leaders has increased at such a rate many have focused on firefighting and keeping themselves and their teams afloat. In these circumstances, it is easy for leadership to take a back seat and for leaders to revert to their default leadership styles.

This highly interactive session will encourage participants to take a step back and examine critical incidents from their own leadership experience, share best practices and experience with peers and consider how the research-based situational leadership theory might add new dimensions to their approaches.

What to expect
This unique event brings the opportunity to explore the latest in academic research and apply these learnings directly in real-life scenarios and your day-to-day experiences.

Highly interactive and involving throughout – the session is about actively generating your ideas, rather than passively listening to a speaker.

Engaging content will be shared in a way which stimulates a real-world conversation to surface practical insights. The intention is for you to learn from each other, yourself, as well as accessing the latest insights. Most of your time will be spent in facilitated group, peer to peer, or open leadership focused discussion.

Please come ready to get involved.
