The session will give an overview of recent research undertaken by GatenbySanderson, to consider how public sector leadership can best steer periods of structural and political change and wider transformation.

We focus upon the impact of the senior leadership team and the resilience required to navigate this period of sustained change and disruption, whilst successfully bringing the rest of the organisation along the journey. We combine this with a look at leadership behaviours, the strengths that point to success and the potential derailers that are likely to manifest when operating under pressure.

The panel will give personal perspectives on managing change, offering advice and providing challenge back to the audience.
