Overview
This PSI Lunch & Learn series focuses on career-related topics through a panel discussion, hosted by Claire Brittain & Chetan Mistry.
Upcoming session: In the upcoming event - "Modern Leaders: Remote not Distant" - we will be discussing the need for a conscious evolution of leadership styles as remote working becomes commonplace.
Whilst there has been a lot of debate on office-based vs. remote workers, there has been less discussion on what 'good' leadership looks like in the new working world. This panel discussion will explore how leaders in our industry have had to adapt, adjust and evolve in order to remain effective in their roles.
