What Does It Mean to Be a Managing Director in 2025? The role of a Managing Director in 2025 is more dynamic than ever. It's about navigating a rapidly evolving landscape, balancing the big picture with the day-to-day, and ensuring the organisation stays innovative, resilient, and aligned with its goals. Being an MD is not just a title—it’s a responsibility to lead with purpose, foster growth, and inspire those around you. It’s about asking the tough questions: What does success look like for the business? How do we create a culture that thrives in uncertainty? What impact do we want to leave behind? But it’s not just about managing others. Managing yourself is just as critical. It means being adaptable, staying focused, and knowing when to push forward and when to step back. It’s about building a strong support network, investing in personal development, and staying connected to what drives you. Join the conversation on January 28th as we unpack these themes with Chris Kent and Phil Hoyle, two accomplished leaders with their personal perspectives on what it truly means to be a Managing Director in 2025. Let’s explore what it takes to lead, inspire, and thrive in this pivotal role.
