New Case Study
Theory is not enough. Which companies are really implementing global approaches to leadership development and change? What works? Could you use these approaches in organisations you serve? EWF will include numerous case studies delivered by the people who led the innovative approaches. In "Lead2Lead: Global Leadership Exchange in a 3-Way Merger", you'll hear how and why a multinational corporation sent 100 managers to visit each other around the globe. Their goal: to have managers in a newly-merging organisation learn about leadership styles in different cultures and establish sustainable leadership networks in the process. Case Study presenter Simon Western is Principal Consultant of the Tavistock Consultancy Service, Director of the Coaching programme at Lancaster University, and leadership development adviser to companies such as Astra Zeneca, Basell, Gaz de France, Gap Inc., Motorola and Lufthansa.
