New leaders are crucial to NZ’s future

What is it that makes leaders? Are leaders born? Or are they made?

The answer is both, according to Anne McLaughlin from Nexus Partners. You can read more about Anne here http://www.nexuspartners.co.nz/ourpeople.php.

"Leadership is complex. For many of the household names, leadership is something which came to them quite naturally, or by dint of their actions," says McLaughlin. "Sir Edmund Hillary, for example, was not someone who was taught leadership at a management school or conference. He became a leader through sheer force of personality and by the enormous magnitude of the example he set through his achievements."

"But while leaders like Sir Ed are unique, we can study their examples, break down the methods they use to instill confidence and inspire people, and then adopt and adapt those methods to develop leadership skills in others."

We're hosting Challenges 08 because we believe that New Zealand businesses and organisations need to do far more to foster leadership skills throughout their workforces.
