Masterclass with Margie Warrell

how to make braver decisions in the risk averse high pressure world of multinationals

"The idea that we want to mitigate risk to zero before we act is really common and really costly.” General Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Army (Ret.)

From the battlefield to the boardroom hesitation and indecision at best limits our potential and impact, at worst can destroy careers and companies. However, risk aversion and compliance are at an all time high in business, and making a call that turns out to be wrong can also come at great cost.

One thing is for sure: playing not to lose by staying silent is not how multinationals move forward. But what stops us from speaking up and playing to win? And what right or role do subsidiary leaders over 10,000 km’s away from global headquarters play in challenging global thinking.

In this masterclass, Dr. Margie Warrell, 6x Bestselling Author, HBR Advisory Council member, former Senior Partner at Korn Ferry, and one of the world's leading experts on courage in leadership, will explore how what she calls 'the Courage Gap' influences decision-making, leadership presence, and team culture across global organisations. Drawing on decades of experience advising Fortune 500 CEOs, NASA and US Special Operations, and her own years living and working around the world, Margie will share the five practical steps to braver action that help leaders close that gap, build trust across cultures, and act decisively under pressure.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from the trusted advisor behind some of the world's most demanding leadership environments.
