Laura McKenna, Senior Director at Perpetual | The importance of leadership development

Insightful discussion about leadership development and how it fosters innovation, and a strategic vision for your organization.

Interviewed by Steve Morrissey

We welcome Laura McKenna, a Senior Director at Perpetual: who discusses leadership and development. Laura shares insights and experiences that highlight the importance of nurturing effective leaders in today’s dynamic environment.

          

In this podcast, Laura explains her journey, highlighting experiences from West Point, military deployments (where she flew Black Hawk helicopters), and her transition to the corporate world. Her diverse background in leadership development and human performance coaching underscores her expertise in cultivating effective leaders.

Laura delves into the importance of investing in leadership development. She emphasizes that well-developed leaders can articulate a clear strategic vision, optimize team dynamics, and foster a culture of innovation and adaptability. Leadership development is crucial for creating a psychologically safe environment, enabling open communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Laura’s insights on leading by example, promoting cross-functional collaboration, and prioritizing psychological safety resonate deeply. Effective leaders encourage experimentation, embrace change, and provide resources for innovation. Measuring the ROI of leadership development through alignment with organizational goals, pre- and post-assessments, and long-term impact tracking is essential for ensuring its effectiveness.

Nurturing strong leaders is paramount for navigating today’s dynamic business landscape. Investing in leadership development fosters a culture of excellence, driving sustained success and competitive advantage.
