Leadership in a Volatile and Uncertain World

Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) in partnership with The Business Desk invites you to Leadership in a Volatile and Uncertain World, a panel discussion with leaders from the UK business community and AMBS to explore and navigate the evolving business landscape in this country.

The event will be facilitated by The Business Desk editor, Michael Taylor and hosted by Academic Director of Executive Education, Bryan Lukas, with panellists including Booking.com’s Lisa Shaftesley, Jo Ahmed, Partner and Leader of the Global Employer Services practice, Deloitte, and Dr Courtney Owens, Lecturer in Leadership and Organisational Psychology at AMBS.

Business leaders have been thrown an enormous challenge accelerated by technological change, a pandemic that overturned working habits overnight, and profound reappraisals of what people want from careers and work.

How does this impact on motivation, design of incentives, working spaces and how leaders can take their teams into the future?

Also how do the expectations of the modern workforce then align with changing corporate goals? The need to embrace ESG isn't just to comply with regulation but requires profound cultural and strategic shifts.

Embracing these agendas and the need for organisations to be purposeful are central to any leader.
