Bold leadership and organisational empowerment are no longer optional in today's complex business landscape. Misha de Sterke, author of Death of Average: How Leaders Drive 10x Growth, argues that most organisations stagnate not because they lack intelligence but because leaders settle for consensus and avoid difficult choices. In this executive session, he will share his research and field‑tested frameworks to help large organisations move beyond average and achieve 10x performance.
What You'll Learn:
- How leaders move organisations beyond “average” by making clear choices, setting direction under uncertainty, and taking responsibility for outcomes, not consensus.
- How to design real empowerment at scale by increasing autonomy, competence, and accountability, without losing coherence or control.
- Practical leadership strategies and thinking tools that help leaders navigate complexity, overcome internal blockers, and actually execute on growth ambitions.
