We’d like to say a big Thank You to all the guests who helped make the launch of the 'Developing Financial Leadership in Small-Medium Businesses' book on Monday a fantastic and memorable event. And a big Thank You also to those who watched the live streaming of the interview and Q&A on our YouTube channel, with an audience from across 5 continents.
With over 100 LEAD™ delegates and alumni in attendance alongside another 50 leaders from across Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties' wider business communities, the event showcased the remarkable depth and strength of connections that define this unique business landscape.
It was inspiring to see delegates and alumni reconnecting and catching up with one another while forging new relationships with fellow senior leaders, demonstrating the collaborative spirit and ongoing network effects that make Gloucestershire's business community truly distinctive.
With the brilliant Jill Douglas MBE interviewing the authors, Stewart and Malcolm, in The Captain's Lounge at Kingsholm Stadium in Gloucester, they shared their insights into why the often-overlooked sector of small-medium businesses is so important for the growth of the economy. And why leadership and vision are crucial for financial leadership to occur and transform strategy into actionable success of an organisation.
We hope the event left the guests feeling inspired to become the best financial leader they can be, and with an understanding of how a financially aware culture drives informed decision-making for competitive advantage.
