IoD Scotland - Brave and Bold Leadership - Knowing when to take action
Brave leadership comes in all shapes, sizes and scenarios and often through more surprising routes… as in this case a marketing campaign.
What can a brave, challenging and thought provoking campaign do for your objectives, your organisation and the wider community?
When Police Scotland launched its “That Guy” campaign in 2021 its purpose was quite simply to urge younger men in particular to take responsibility for their actions to help affect a positive cultural entitlement change against women. It didn’t pull any punches.
At the time it created discussions, debate and huge reflection. IoD Scotland invites members and guests to hear from Deputy Chief Constable Malcolm Graham who was instrumental behind the campaign, and to give you insights into what to expect for your own leadership and organisations if you are looking to commit to bold action.
Buy in, support and endorsement around the board room table when it comes to big and bold leadership decisions was imperative for this campaign. Leaders need to ask themselves do they have this within their own organisations?
Chaired and facilitated by IoD Scotland Chair, Aidan O’Carroll.
