Why is culture important?
Culture is the key ingredient in creating and sustaining long-term growth and change. Operating success is tied to the ‘health and vibrancy’ and overall ‘maturity’ of your culture. To go from good to great to even better, great leadership is required at all levels. By hearing from business people in some of the highest leadership positions, you’ll learn how to cut through the hype to see what actually matters in a leader.
Looking ahead
It’s not only the current leadership. Keep an eye out for future leaders, younger people who are talented and have the potential to move up the ladder. They need to be identified and their development needs to be accelerated.
