‘Thriving, not Surviving as a 21 Century Leader’
Veera Johnson,
Head of IT and Telecoms at Templewood LLP 
Leadership is much more than just being authentic. It’s about having a passion, being able to show your weaknesses, creating a sense of purpose and most importantly it’s about creating the right balance of all of these things to suit the situation. In the current climate there is so much expectation on all senior managers to be 'out there'. This coupled with the capability of technologies and the speed at which business moves means that are few places to hide. So how do we survive as leaders in the 21st Century and how can we excel?
