The best leaders and leadership teams understand that alignment is the most important factor towards achieving business goals and successful business transformations. They understand that misalignment creates confusion, frustration, mistrust and disengagement throughout the entire enterprise. Conversely, when alignment is achieved, business performance and improvements are sustained over time. And, employees feel valued, engaged, empowered and are willing to give more.

Why then are only 8% of UK employees engaged at work and why do 73% of UK Business Transformations fail?

In this session George Donaldson will provide valuable insight from thought leaders such as: Deming; Drucker; Covey; Peters; Collins; and Sinek and will provide case studies into how the best leadership teams clearly understand the differences between leadership and management, have a clear purpose, compelling vison, and inspire and engage all employees to achieve organisational goals.
