This half-day workshop examines the skills required to be an effective and resilient leader, in the context of change.
Resilience is an essential quality that every leader and aspiring leader needs to develop and demonstrate.
The leader’s job is most often to drive change by inspiring others towards a common vision and dealing with the inevitable challenges along the way. This session explores the mindset and skill-set of the resilient leader in the context of change.
We then bring resilience to reality in conversation with Lorna Jack, Chief Executive, Law Society of Scotland, who will share personal insights into how she has become the resilient leader she is today.
- Appreciation of the resilient leader’s mindset
- Understanding of different people’s reaction to change, eg one person's source of energy may be another's angst
- The resilient leader’s toolkit - physical and psychological building blocks of resilience
- Resilience insights from Lorna Jack, Chief Executive, Law Society of Scotland
- Opportunity to realise and reinforce that we are not alone in the challenges that we face
