Strategic Leadership: A CEO's perspective

As a CEO/ Managing Director, it is not often that you have time to reflect on your role as a leader. The pressures on your time spent in running your business compete with your time spent to develop yourself.

This event will make you think about your role as a strategic leader and what that means. It will give you a CEO’s perspective on the essentials required to grow your business. It will identify the critical elements within different functional areas that you need to be on top of to enable that growth and introduce some key tools for you to create a road map for your pathway to growth.

The event is a master class delivered by an ex-CEO of a £100 million, multi – national, multi – site family owned company, the Hansen Group. Stewart Barnes provides insights into strategic leadership drawing on his own experience as a former main Board Director and CEO. As a high achieving business leader, entrepreneur and a business coach, Stewart’s expertise lies in turning around businesses to become profitable and market leaders within their segments. Whatever the current state of your business, Stewart’s insights into strategic planning and creating management systems that transform operations are invaluable for growth - ambitious SMEs.

The event includes a networking lunch where you will have the opportunity to speak to other like – minded Managing Directors and CEOs of SME organisations. You will also have the opportunity to find out more about the LEAD programme due to be launched at The Work Foundation from September 2013 and find out if you are eligible to apply for the programme.
