The session will be interactive, with Q&A sessions with the speaker and group discussions for you to share practical examples from your own experiences.

We will look at leadership challenges and why HR isn’t a magic wand! We will focus in on areas that will help leaders build better businesses. We will discuss various models as let’s face it once size does not fit all!

We will use story telling to bring the content to life, with examples from our own experiences and from international businesses.

The session will focus on four key areas:

1. The leadership challenge and why HR isn’t a magic wand: We will explore the current challenges that leaders face when it comes to individuals, and teams.

2. Areas of focus that help leaders build a better business: We will look at three core essentials to address when supporting leaders: Purpose, Diversity of thought, and Collaboration. Each will include examples from our own experiences and offer some practical approaches HR professionals could consider.

3. Examples from the group: The audience will be split into small groups to share examples from their own experiences, tools they may have used, challenges they faced and success stories.

4. Why one size does not fit all: To close we will hear examples from the room, and explain why every business needs to make different decisions to find the right solution for them and their people.
