A unique executive event for senior leaders. Meet the authors, discuss their current views on leadership and learn how world-class organisations have driven change and achieved success through effective leadership development.

Agenda:

6 pm to 6.30 pm – Reception

6.30 pm to 8 pm – Rob Goffee, Gareth Jones and Tom Barry discuss the core concepts behind ‘Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?’ and reveal how true authentic leadership centres on the needs of followers and not simply emulating other famous leaders.

The evening will include an interactive session demonstrating how global corporations can put the learning from ‘Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?’ to work in their organisations. Find out how companies like Anglo-American, Heineken, Nestle, Unilever and KPMG have used these concepts to build the leadership calibre within their management ranks.
