Stew Darling: Keynote Speaking
Stew Darling is a former British Army Lieutenant Colonel and military intelligence officer, and the author of The Unreasonable CEO. He speaks to CEO conferences, executive forums, boards and senior leadership teams about one uncomfortable truth: your organisation will never outperform the leader you choose to be.
Audiences will discover:
- Why every organisation eventually reaches the identity ceiling of its leader.
- Why culture is created by what leaders tolerate, not by values on a wall.
- How elite teams make decisions under pressure when certainty doesn’t exist.
- How to build organisations that perform when the CEO isn’t in the room.
