A webinar discussing what the future may hold as we develop teams in a digital age, along with hybrid working and flexible staffing.
10:30 - 11:30
Date: 29 May 2024
This presentation will give you a flavour of how Bolu went from professional rugby league to the packaging industry to sitting on a committee supporting the first female metropolitan combined Mayor in the U.K and entrepreneurial investments at home and abroad. Throughout this he has worked in an array of teams and groups and will talk about the good, the bad and the ugly and how these lessons have shaped how he instructs organisations who are building their own teams.
Bolu will talk about some of the teams he’s been involved in from sports to business to the community sector. Sometimes it’s surprising how some teams can achieve so much beyond the sum of its parts and some teams fail to deliver despite the individual brilliance.
He will talk about building and what his hundreds of hours with leaders of teams throughout a range of sectors has done to foster his leadership and Team Building workshops which captures how to best prepare a team for unprecedented growth and the resilience to handle unexpected crises.
Bolu will discuss the benefits of how people have embraced the unique ability of different people from varying backgrounds to change the world if they work in tandem and the necessary leadership habits.
The presentation will cover how the unique qualities from the sports environment have fuelled success in leading teams and how he passes some of these learning along to non-sports people in a way that they can relate to and build out teams that are fit for the future and the turmoil and unpredictability which encompasses real life.
Bolu will discuss what the future might hold as we develop teams in a digital age, hybrid working and flexible staffing.
How do you ensure the development of your emerging talent with the changing working patterns and connecting the traditional master and apprentice model which ensured that the most experienced staff and the newest in an organisation were integrated and spent valuable time together when the touch points have changed so much.
