Sarah Wood Launches Leadership Manifesto #SteppingUp At Unruly HQ

Guests were left with plenty to chew on at a breakfast event held at our London HQ yesterday to mark the launch of Unruly CEO Sarah Wood’s breakthrough leadership manifesto, Stepping Up.

To celebrate the release of the new book we hosted a kick-ass panel on leadership, featuring Professor Caroline Wiertz, Christina Scott, CTO of News UK, Deirdre McGlashan, Chief Digital Officer at MediaCom, Johnny Hammond, Global Marketing Director at Unilever Foundry, and Sherry Coutu CBE.

We had such a good time that we wanted to share the morning’s activities and learnings with the world.

The day kicked off with a talk from Sarah outlining the key messages of Stepping Up. The book asserts the need for more diverse leaders at all levels and from all backgrounds in today’s business world. It’s a call to arms and a practical toolkit for aspiring leaders who want to lead with authenticity, realise their full potential and have a lasting impact.

After Sarah’s talk, the panel discussed the importance of trust in a ‘post-truth era’, and whether we need to change the way we think about leadership.
