What an incredible way to end 2024! Louise Stephenson (Associate CIPD) smashed her fundraising target of £50,000 and brought together 165 senior female leaders and their male allies for a Christmas lunch networking event. Fantastic to see so many familiar faces and to invite new ones onto the stage to share their career journeys. We look forward to seeing the network continue to grow in 2025. #events #leadership
What happens when DRAX Partner Louise Stephenson (Associate CIPD) hosts 165 senior women and male allies for the final Empowering Women in Business Network event of 2024? 💥 A panel of three fabulous leaders share their career journeys. 💥 Hazel Showell captures the audience, talking about the psychology of being a fearless leader. 💥 The Rock Choir brings the house down with their Christmas songs. 💥 Over £11,000 is raised for Prevent Breast Cancer in just four hours. Louise was first joined on stage by an inspiring panel - David Kendrick, Partner at Cooper Parry, Clare Roberts OBE, Founder and CEO Kids Planet, and Beth Houghton, Partner at Palatine - who spoke candidly about their differing career journeys. After lunch, Louise took to the stage again with Hazel Showell, who spoke about working with the fight-or-flight instinct. She was then joined by Prevent Breast Cancer CEO Nikki Barraclough, who has since said: "What an incredible event and what an incredible year. When Louise set the challenge of raising £50,000 in 2024, having raised £25,000 in 2023, I never doubted she would do it. And wow - a total of £56,138 will go towards our big build of the National Breast Imaging Centre right here in Manchester." Louise added: "I am so proud of everything the network has achieved this year. To the 16 panellists who have given up their time this year, to the 30 females and their families who have taken part in breathtaking - and exhausting - challenges to help me smash our fundraising target, and to everyone who has attended one of our four events, I am so grateful. I cannot wait for 2025, where I will take the network across the Northwest into Leeds and continue to drive my purpose of supporting more senior female leaders into board positions." The Christmas Lunch event was supported by Sarah Bateman of Unify Energy. We look forward to sharing the plans for the 2025 events in the New Year. DRAX is part of The LCap Group along with Altus Partners #events #leadership #womenleadership

Sitting down with Samuel Robberts, we had the chance to explore how these findings can guide leaders in building stronger, more resilient teams. We unpacked some of the most pressing challenges facing leadership today, including how organisations navigate market volatility by making proactive leadership changes. It’s clear that assessing team capabilities and understanding where the real strengths (and gaps!) lie has never been more critical. We also explored the power of transparency and data-driven analysis in helping private companies achieve their ambitious growth goals.

Insightful reflections like this are exactly why we created the 2024 Leadership Capital Report. Leaders often pride themselves on being ‘strategic,’ but as this post points out, tactical execution can be the unsung hero in driving results. At The LCap Group, we believe the balance between strategy and execution is what separates top quartile leaders from the rest. It's amazing to see the report being used as intended—to spark conversations, challenge perceptions, and inform leadership decisions. Thanks for sharing this perspective—this is what leadership capital is all about!
Pretty cool visualisation of top quartile Private Equity C-Suite roles and strategic vs tactical balance (courtesy of the 2024 Leadership Capital Report). Especially because one of my observations is no one tends to speak about being a "very tactical thinker" 🤣 - most people pride themselves on being strategic, but sometimes 😎 execution matters a lot more .... link here: https://lnkd.in/e8KGiAVh #leadership

Unlike large corporates, fast-growth companies don’t have the luxury of unlimited budgets to build expansive leadership teams. Founders and CEOs must make strategic, high-impact hires to balance their leadership team across essential functions. Functional balance means spreading leadership expertise wisely, avoiding the trap of hiring only within the founder’s comfort zone, which can lead to gaps in critical areas. A balanced team that includes strategic, operational, and innovation-focused roles gives the business agility and resilience. With access to a Functional Balance chart, consultants within our businesses support Clients by identifying each leader’s strengths and alignment with core business needs. Working with high-growth Client businesses means getting the leadership mix right from the start. It can be the difference between sustained growth and potential stagnation. The LCap Group of businesses are: Drax Executive, Drax Affinity, Altus Partners, Rowan, Leadership Dynamics and PACE
