Continuation of … What does it take to transform an aspiring leader into a visionary CEO? Fostering Future Leadership through Board and CEO Collaboration By Dr. Hesham Moubarak Final Thoughts Effective collaboration between boards and aspiring CEOs is not only essential but also transformative for organizations. Boards must create a nurturing yet challenging environment that fosters innovation, experimentation, and leadership growth. By providing aspiring CEOs with shadowing opportunities, constructive feedback, and high-impact projects, boards ensure a pipeline of competent and forward-thinking leaders ready to meet future challenges. Aspiring CEOs, in turn, must take ownership of their growth by embracing these opportunities, listening to feedback with humility, and continuously pushing the boundaries of their capabilities. This partnership between boards and emerging leaders is the foundation for sustainable success in an era of rapid change, equipping organizations with leadership that inspires trust, innovation, and long-term value.

ANZ CFO Farhan Faruqui and Catherine Fox AM at The Asian Leadership Project ‘in conversation’ series - talking about #leadership, #culture and the bamboo ceiling. Thank you to Julie Chai for the invitation and Ashurst for hosting. Just some of my takeaways: - after a successful global career, Farhan says what has always motivated him most about taking on a new role is learning something new - on being an ally, in meetings pause to allow people to speak up, it’s not just about having #diversity around the table, encourage people to speak - on leadership, focus on what you need people to do but also how you want people to feel, empower and give people safety to speak up, stand back and let others take credit for what they’ve achieved, be authentic, curious and able to deal with complexity - you must have a #purpose and a value driven system that ground you to every decision you make.

🌏 I'm excited to be attending the WOBI World Business Forum in Sydney with Adrienne Sykes this week—a fantastic space for inspiration and learning with so many influential speakers and leaders! My key takeaways from Day 1: 💡The past is no longer a predictor of the future. To thrive, we must have a future-focused mindset, adapting to new realities rather than relying on past patterns. 💡We must try new things, even when they may lead to failure. Innovation and growth come from trying new things, pushing boundaries, and being open to some not succeeding. 💡Self-belief and support can shape our aspirations. Cathy Freeman shared her powerful story of self-confidence, inspired by a teacher who recognized her talent at a young age. It reminded me of the vital role mentors and supporters play in helping us achieve our goals. Looking forward to Day 2 and gaining more insights on purpose, leadership, resilience, and innovation! #WBFSYD #WOBI #Leadership #FutureFocused #Innovation #Resilience
