Julian Birkinshaw, a Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School and the author of 14 acclaimed business books, is a World Thought Leader on topics of strategic agility, digital transformation, corporate entrepreneurship, and innovation.
During his talk, Mr. Birkinshaw will provide insights from his research and consulting work on how to be a great boss in the digital age. The heart of the job is enabling your employees to do their best work, which requires you to do two fundamentally different things: to provide support and empathy to those individuals working directly for you; while also providing a sense of direction and being decisive vis-à-vis the rest of the organisation and the outside world. Getting the balance right between these two requires a very high level of self-awareness.
This talk builds on Julian’s two recent books, Becoming a Better Boss and Fast/Forward, Make your Company Fit for the Future.
