Making Sustainable Choices
It is time to re-think what leadership means. Historically, the perception of leadership is that it only applies to a few individuals with seniority status within an organisation. The role of said leader was to provide guidance and direction to a team.
Many conversations have centered around ‘leadership styles’ and how leaders can lead effectively. In our Leadership for all series, our range of podcasts, webcasts and blogs will explore how everyone can adopt key aspects of leadership within their roles daily.
In partnership with Nicholas Boyle, Academic Associate and Director of Storm 7 Coaching, we are delighted to share our ‘Leadership for all’ series. Each month, a new topic will be explored, delving into key subjects within the banking sector, with insight from a wide range of experts.
- Ethical decision making
- The impact of AI
- Making sustainable choices
- Vulnerable customers
Following on from COP26, this webcast will examine the outcomes raised. How can we try and challenge practices within our institutions and organisations in order to embed sustainable practices? Our Chair and panel will discuss how aspects of leadership can be implemented towards making Sustainable Choices, at every level.
