“Learning to deal with adversity is a critical skill in these ever changing times,” says Patricia Wallington in her book, Agility in Adversity. “Strong, agile leaders have a knack for turning problems into opportunities.” Never has this been more true than today. These times of dramatic growth, adversity and enormous challenges bring out the best and the worst in our leaders.

  • How do we build resilience in our organisations and our leaders?
  • How do current and future leaders cultivate the qualities of adaptability?
  • How do we prepare a new generation of leaders for the challenges of the future? What will be the critical issues and will they have what it takes?

Join the Boss panel of business leaders in a stimulating discussion of what makes a great leader for today’s turbulent times.
