Think about a leader you know and what springs to mind: leadership or loudership?
Fortune favours the brave and, in our age of influence, the person who shouts the loudest is often the one who gets listened to. After all, building a personal brand comes with certain expectations that a leader should be loud, proud and physically visible.
But in 2020, those who thrive on communicating to crowded rooms had to step back behind the screen. It became clear just how little good leadership has to do with making a speech, and how much it has to do with making a mark.
So, what does leadership look like now? As we face into a hybrid world of work, what will we want from the people in charge? And, after a year of digital democratisation, will we look to new voices to lead the way?
Senior consultant Steph Finn chose this theme as her World Changer for our 2021 report. In this epiode, Elle Bradley-Cox joins Steph and scarlettabbott managing director Jeremy Petty for a candit conversation about leadership over the last 12 months.
Elle also grabs some time with quiet leader coach Iain Wilkie to get his views on supporting quieter voices in the workplace.
