Rt Hon James Duddridge, Former Minister for Africa and member of parliament stated that “providing leadership in politics and business has become progressively more difficult. There is no news cycle; there is a constant and immediate flow of information with low barriers to access. Any fool can get online, and they do.
The digital age is a great opportunity, but there are also risks. A thriving political career or business can be killed in a tweet or even a retweet. Business and political leaders need to understand all their utterances can be sent around the world with a click of a mouse.
Leaders need to be consistent in communications; this is widely understood. What is less well understood is the need for safe spaces to develop ideas, test concepts, and challenge conventional wisdom away from the glare of the digital age.
For UK politicians, the corridors of the House of Commons, the tea room and the smoking room, where smoking is not allowed, but alcohol flows, provide such safe spaces. I always make a big decision in politics by popping into the tea room, but I frequently do not check social media before taking a view on an issue.
Leaders need old, trusted friends, a hinterland away from the cut and thrust. You can be a High Court Judge or PM, but your mum, husband or child will put you in your place and are often great sounding boards for a whack of reality, killing or repackaging a bad idea. My 12-year-old daughter saved me from doing something daft only this week.
Leaders need a safe space to evolve and refine into a clear pitch to which people will rally. A private court around the King (or leader) is required now more than ever in a digital age.
With global economic challenges of high inflation, managing in a fluctuating foreign exchange world, rising operating costs and stiff international competition, global leaders must understand the pitfalls and opportunities of a digital age. Texem is well placed to provide a forum to discuss these issues and unite global leaders in a safe space to reflect, return and lead.”
Testimonials:
Ifeanyi Ani, CEO of Total Pension CPFA, TEXEM alumni, remarked … “My favourite thing about the programme would be…drawing our attention again to… change, which has been a constant in life experiences, you know, change in our lives, change, you know, in businesses,…the evolution of businesses and the way we do things…discussions, for example, on cyber security and mental health, which is not just equipping us to know what is happening around us, even equipping us personally, our mental health, paying attention to also the ever evolving cyber security… Those are things I would say that made it very, very interesting.”
“… I found that it’s quite a new approach of workshop than I’m used to because I’ve attended so many workshops organised by other organisations.” “But I found that the approach made by TEXEM is quite different.” “…first of all, when I found that the first day of the program would be visits to Shakespeare’s birthplace and also to visit a chocolate factory, I was sceptical. So I said, I’m in love with Shakespeare, but I just said, what is it to do with business or whatever it is? But then after the visit and then to the two places and coming back and then I could see the collaboration between what I’m supposed to know, and I really could understand the issues there.”- said Ambassador Mustafa Sam, Non-Executive Director, Jaiz Bank.
