Conscious Leaders with Becky Falkingham, CEO The Alexander Partnership

Conscious Working New Series on leadership and wellbeing at work

Conscious Working is launching a new series – Conscious Leaders where we talk to business leaders and their advisors about the world of work.

We’ll be covering the essence of leadership , and how different management styles have met the challenges of the Pandemic, its mass disruption and asking what happens next?

Tough questions are tackled. What’s the future of the workplace and what new techniques and initiatives designed to support hybrid as we attempt to integrate WFH with some office life? What impact will that have on wellbeing of millions?

This month for Conscious Working’s Tribe, we interviewed Becky Falkingham, CEO of The Alexander Partnership, a leading advisory firm that has been coaching C-suites across countless corporates in different sectors for decades.

Becky shines a light on life inside the c-suite, guiding CEOs through those very tough decision-making processes, often under extreme pressures. She covers the key characteristics to being a better leader, listing #compassion , #vulnerability, and an ability to listen as essential.

You’ll also hear details on how leaders coped during Covid and how new management styles were quickly adopted to navigate the tidal wave of change.

Whether it was financial survival (airlines), order overload (retail) or commuter meltdown (railways), crises also triggered deeper team connections, fresh loyalties, and renewed board-level engagement.

Often in the face of adversity, survival instincts allowed for a better approaches, sharper communications, faster decisions, and creativity where nothing was off the table.

It’s now a question of how to bottle that so learnings are not lost.

The question still unanswered is how hybrid will work longer term, and with workers holding more cards, whether companies will offer complete flexibility as a way to compete.

Within that wellbeing, as a cultural play with focus on menta lhealth health has also taken its place at exec tables - as a differentiator and a relevant metric for collective mood, morale, and performance.
