Inclusive LEADERSHIP
“Top-Down Leadership” is not Top Leadership. People respond far better to leaders that build rapport and that can empower staff as individuals.
This session is chaired by the prominent thinker Professor Andrew Mayo, and features the Chief Storyteller at Narrate Consulting, the Head of L&D at NSL Services and an OD & L Consultant at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
Professor Andrew Mayo is a frequent speaker, writer and facilitator in international HRM, specialising in people and organisation development, having worked for thirty years in major international organisations.
He is a Programme Director at the Centre for Management Development at London Business School and Associate Professor of HRM at Middlesex Business School, and author of numerous articles and books.
 Tony Quinlan is the Chief Storyteller at Narrate Consulting. He has spent 20 years shaping communications and change programmes for large organisations and has developed powerful frameworks for shared understanding and engagement that are more effective than traditional communication methods.
He and his team will be running a session on Anecdote Circles for the sharing of Leadership stories.
 Stacey Dunkin is Organisational, Development & Learning Consultant at DSTL, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
The talk “Psychology and Drama, Performance Managers becoming Performance Leaders” shows that honest, open conversation between leaders and teams is the foundation of successful performance management, with leaders now having meaningful conversations about personal performance.
Presented with Ruth Williams, Consultant Occupational Psychologist at Criterion Partnership

Barry Hopley is Head of Learning & Development at NSL Services.
His talk Development that Sticks like Mud is about a new approach to engaging learners such that they ‘really get it’.
