Challenges posed by the UK’s ‘emergency budget’ for organisational leaders
Download
We conduct broad based studies that seek to deepen our understanding of what underpins outstanding performance within the fast-paced dynamism of organisational life.
So much of the research produced in this area is either conducted with expertise from an academic perspective but lacking in practical relevance or with applicability but without good theory. We attempt to bridge the gap and combine the two.

Impact of Gender
Women make up approximately half of the workforce in the UK and US yet 25% of the FTSE 100 have no female directors and only 15 companies in the fortune 500 have a female CEO.
This paper presents research conducted in the Glowinkowsi™ Research Institute into the difference between male and female leaders, providing interesting evidence that contributes to the conversation about why a gender imbalance in leadership prevails.
Using a cross-cultural database including in excess of 3700 middle and senior managers spanning a range of sectors, a raft of significant differences were found in the personality and behaviour of men and women in the workplace. These are discussed in terms of the potential impact they have on leadership.

In this paper we discuss this set of ‘Big Hitters’ and the importance of competencies for organisational performance.
