Session three

A leadership playbook for activating extraordinary performance in a world of volatility

Given the challenging circumstances most organisations are facing, the ability of leaders to navigate change and lead through uncertainty is now a critical capability. Leaders who can inspire mindset shifts, enable rapid behavioural change and bring focus and purpose see considerable performance benefits.  In fact, the human side of change and strategy activation is arguably the most critical factor determining success or failure. 

Storytelling is recognised as a key leadership skill.  However, the true potential of story is not limited to powerful communication techniques.  In this webinar, we shared how organisations can equip and enable leaders to lead effectively through uncertainty using storytelling, drawn from 20 years working with C-suites of Fortune 500, FTSE 250 and major global organisations.

Panellists are:

  • Alison Esse, Co-founder and Director at The Storytellers
  • Theni Paramaguru, Senior Consultant at The Storytellers
  • Robert Tennant, Head of Client Strategy at The Storytellers

We covered:

  • The key characteristics that define the influential leadership needed to ensure resilience in uncertain times
  • How these can be developed throughout entire leader and middle management populations in complex organisations
  • How storytelling will unify your people and galvanise them to drive performance 

You will come away from watching this session with actionable insights on how to use a story-driven approach to build leadership capability and drive strategy activation.
