Our Leadership Agreement sets out the behaviours we believe will drive excellent business performance and create the kind of workplace we can all be proud of. We don’t expect everyone to be immediate experts, but we do expect our leaders to be human, make mistakes, and to learn.
Our Leadership Council is comprised of colleagues from different businesses, geographies and seniority, to help us have the biggest impact from our collective leadership. We have a unique and dynamic leadership to enable our leaders to bring the best of their abilities to create shared economic value in some of the world’s most exciting economies and communities.
We believe there is no substitution for the experience of leading every day, and provide a range of communities, tools, and support to help our leaders get better every day. This includes on-demand coaching either through our specialist providers, or our internal network of Ignite coaches as well as daily nudges on how to improve your leadership health.
Regular 360 and structured sentiment feedback from our people helps our leaders understand the leadership impact they’re having and how they can improve how they lead. Leaders at all levels have access to innovative learning solutions that simulate what it takes to lead for people, planet and profit in the global economy alongside on-demand learning resources tailored to their unique needs.
For our enterprise leaders we have a tailored development track to help them embrace and act in the disruptive world around them. We believe the best learning is done together with other leaders, with access to coaching from senior leaders and reverse mentoring from colleagues.
The act of leading is hard. Whether you’re leading people, a product, or clients, our people look to you for answers and put their trust in you to lead.
To achieve our full potential of being ‘here for good’ we need people who embody our valued behaviours of never settling, being better together and doing the right thing. This is even truer for our leaders, who we need to role model, not just live our valued behaviours.
This requires leaders who can:
So others are encouraged to never settle
To get the most out of our talent and deliver better together
With determination and purpose, making it easier to get things done, but critically doing the right thing.
