Rachel Gillett - Head of Leadership, Bauer Academy

“Across all of our leadership subjects, digital has never been as important as it is today. We’re seeing increasing demands on leaders to know how to use tools to improve efficiency and collaboration, make decisions on best practice for hybrid teams and respond to emerging trends that are evolving at pace, such as artificial intelligence. Successful individuals need to consider the impact, and opportunities, of digital in all aspects of their leadership. They need to understand digitised interactions, embrace new technologies and be aware of emerging trends. Leaders who can identify the opportunities that digital offers are likely to see their teams thrive in increasingly digital ways of working.”
