Stretching ourselves as leaders:
Leadership Conversation 23
Captures the key insights arising from a Leadership Conversation that took place in October 2018 on “Stretching our top talent”.
The report sets out a wide range of aspects of “stretch leadership”, as a way of releasing talent and driving up team performance. It breaks down a 30-point “stretch programme” under three main headings: stretching ourselves as leaders, stretching our teams and creating a stretch culture. One of our most fascinating Leadership Conversations to date.

Integrity in Leadership:
2018 Gathering & Conversation 22
Captures the key insights arising from our 2018 Gathering for Leadership Fellows and a one-day Leadership Conversation the following day.
The Gathering coincided with the 17th Anniversary of 9/11, which led us to capture some powerful insights that we took into the Conversation the following day. We explored the exceptional difficulty of using the word integrity in a work setting when the context is one in which we are challenging someone about a possible compromise to their integrity. This led us to come up with a “big idea” that is set out in the report.
