The IoD’s May breakfast, sponsored by Butterfield, will explore the topic of leadership in a post-pandemic era. A pivotal shift for leaders is currently underway: it is clear that to emerge from the crisis stronger and more resilient, leaders are having to rethink what is means to lead – prioritising purpose, trust empathy and inclusivity.

As seemingly irreconcilable problems emerge – from the pandemic, to geo-political crises and supply chain issues expectations of those who lead are becoming ever more demanding. These paradoxes will be explored in the IoD’s May breakfast – and will specifically focus on:

• How has the Covid pandemic impacted leaders and leadership styles?

• What does good leadership now mean?

• What are the key qualities that make a good leader?

• What are the common leadership pitfalls – and how does this differ between Guernsey and the UK?

• How can you balance the conflicting demands of leading in such complex and ambiguous times?

We will hear from a panel of local experts in the field of leadership: Phil Eyre Founder of the Leaders Consultancy, Jill Clark a non-executive director and lecturer at the GTA and College of Further Education, and Evelyn Brady, Managing Partner at PwC.

The May breakfast event will take place in the Colborne Room at the OGH at 07:45-09:00 on Friday 27 May.

A certificate of attendance for IoD members will be issued after the event.
