Dare to be Different: This Way to the Secret Nuclear Bunker
Will Ryan
"During this lively and interactive session we will explore how great leaders take their organisation and the people within it to places and heights you wouldn’t normally expect them to achieve. Key strategies about how this can be achieved will be discussed. The role of collaboration in a twenty first century context will be explored as well as some as the key qualities our best leaders possess. The importance of leading a school according a key set of beliefs and principles and a deep understanding of the community the school serves will be high profile within the presentation. Reference will be made to leaders form a variety of walks of life."
Will Ryan: With many years’ experience of school leadership, Will is the man behind ‘Inside Out Leadership’ – the idea that you lead not from on high but from within, that your actions are driven by a moral imperative, that you keep in mind the legacy you want to leave behind and that schools create rich and vivid learning opportunities that today’s children will tell their grandchildren about.

TED Talk: Why it’s time to forget the pecking order at work
Margaret Heffernan
"Organisations are often run according to “the super chicken model,” where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others. And yet, this isn’t what drives the most high-achieving teams. Business leader Margaret Heffernan observes that it is social cohesion — built every coffee break, every time one team member asks another for help — that leads over time to great results. It's a radical rethink of what drives us to do our best work, and what it means to be a leader. Because as Heffernan points out:
