Building the next generation of trust CEOs
"A good leader doesn't create followers, they create more leaders”. How true is this in our sector? In this session our expert panel will explore the skills and qualities that the next generation of trust CEOs will need as our sector continues to mature. They will consider what the new context for school trusts will require of its leaders, and ask what serving CEOs and chairs of trustees can do to identify and develop a healthy pipeline of future CEOs so that individuals, organisations, and the wider trust system can flourish.
