This breakfast meeting will begin with Dr Lee Martin exploring what it means to be authentic in your leadership and the possible benefits this can have on fostering innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit within your organisation from an academic perspective.
Stuart Ross (High Growth Academy) will then provide examples of best practice and practical strategies on how high growth organisations develop authentic leaders and how this forms the foundation of an entrepreneurial culture. He will go on to look at how a leader’s style needs to change as an organisation grows in order to maintain and fully engage the team in such a culture.

The Ingenuity KnowledgeXchange Shop Window – your chance to take the floor
Every Ingenuity Knowledge Exchange breakfast offers both business owners and people from within the University the chance to make a brief presentation to the room about something they are looking for help with.
From the University? If you have a business-facing project or want to work with local small and medium-sized businesses as part of your research, this is your opportunity to make contact with business owners who are already interested in what happens at the University and who may be interested in participating with your initiative.
From business? Sorry, but this isn’t time for a standard “60 second pitch” – feedback tells us that our businesses want something different from Ingenuity. But it is your opportunity to do some research of your own, ask for volunteers for new product or service trials, to ask if anyone has any recommendations for difficult-to-find suppliers, or simply share some news that the audience might not find out about otherwise.
Email Steve Upcraft if you would like to participate in a future Ingenuity Knowledge Exchange Shop Window.
