Lessons from Sport, Business and the Military
FLS Virtual Conference jointly hosted with The Centre for Army Leadership
For several years, FLS have worked closely with the Centre for Army Leadership (CAL). Original plans to hold a joint conference on leadership, to be held at Sandhurst, were shelved because of the Covid crisis. We soon realised that there were excellent examples of leadership through crisis evident in sport, business and the military. We all became ‘zoom’ experts, enabling people to continue to engage with others in a positive fashion. Holding a ‘virtual’ conference on leading through times of crisis was an obvious consequence.
Over 1,500 delegates attended the event, held on November 4th. We had superb leaders from different walks of life, all of whom gave their services free of charge, enabling us to raise over £3,000 for the Royal British Legion.
We look forward to further collaboration with CAL, and discussions are already under way.
