WHAT CAN I LOOK FORWARD TO?

Get ready to supercharge your leadership skills with the return of Francis Flynn, Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Stanford University, to London. He's back to lead an exclusive workshop for top business executives, where you'll gain invaluable insights into the following topics:

• Judging Talent: Making sound decisions regarding talent is crucial for any organisation. From hiring to promotion to performance evaluation, getting the right people in the right roles is key to achieving success. But how can we avoid the common pitfalls that can lead to poor choices?

• The Art of Making Great Group Decisions: Do you find that the same few people in your business always dominate group discussions, leaving little room for others to contribute? While others remain silent, this could lead to inaccurate conclusions and missed opportunities. Grasp the strategies behind collaborative decision-making, which can lead to innovative solutions.

• Coaching and Developing Others: What does a truly effective developmental conversation entail? And how can you make sure that learning occurs when it matters most? You will learn about the art of coaching and developing others, especially in the most challenging circumstances.

• Mediating Conflict: As a leader, you may find yourself in situations where you must step in and resolve conflicts within your team. The thing is, most people aren't trained to do this. You will deep-dive into navigating difficult situations easily while building strong, productive relationships through effective conflict mediation techniques.
