Birmingham
1. Paving the Way: become a landscape leader
Summary
Being an effective leader requires technical skill, strategic thinking and knowledge. Being a great leader also requires emotional intelligence. In a working world where we prioritise ‘doing’ over reflecting, it’s important we develop self-awareness. So, how can we flex this muscle? Shireen will use examples from her work as CEO of the Institute of Chartered Foresters to show how leadership is essentially a human activity – complex and messy, yet an opportunity to empower both yourself and others.
