Preparing Your People For The Leadership Challenges Ahead

PY Gerbeau

The former French Olympian has undertaken more than a dozen corporate rescues and turnarounds, including, famously, the Millennium Dome. He’s since headed Britain’s largest leisure company, lectured MBA students on the experience economy, and led development of a huge new resort complex to rival his former employers at Disney. PY explains how every tier of management must be accountable and agile to improve the organisation’s prospects for growth; and with some companies still on life support, it’s up to managers to see that core values are upheld by everyone.

As Head of the Security Service, Eliza dealt with the wake of 9/11 and a growing threat from Al-Qaeda. As Chair of the Wellcome Trust, one of the world’s largest charitable funders of medical research, she oversaw an organisation that both predicted and led work tackling the Covid-19 pandemic and its long-term effects. With insights and lessons on leadership from throughout her career, Eliza explains that leaders' priorities must change in order to keep pace with the constant emergence of new, often unimagined challenges, from existential threats such as climate change and pandemics, to urgent demands to address diversity and fairness.
