Leadership - lessons from leading the Global Speakers Federation.
What do you learn when you have led a $6.5b industry and worked with cross-cultural teams across 18 international locations? You learn that everything rises and falls on leadership.
When Elias contracted to a household brand in New Zealand, he noticed that there were gaps between perception and reality. He documented them in a 4-page report, which was forwarded to a member of the Executive Leadership Team.
Instead of leading to a meeting, where they could leverage Elias’s extensive experience, he was told to supress his leadership instincts and be a team player. Basically, ‘pull his head in’!
In this Keynote, Elias will challenge his audience to answer the following questions:
What is happening in the Leadership Team within your organisation?
Is this a reflection of you, the leader?
Is the dysfunction starting at the top and flowing down through your organisation?
Are you willing to do something to stop it from destroying everything that you have fought hard to build?

Lessons learned from leading a
not-for-profit organisation
In this Keynote about leadership, Elias Kanaris crafts the story of how a member of an Executive Leadership Team of a blue-chip corporation in New Zealand told him to “suppress his leadership instincts” and basically pull his head in! If you lead a team or an organisation, how is your leadership style affecting your workforce? Do you encourage others to bring their ‘A’-game to work everyday, or are you dis-enfranchising them? By drawing on his experiences in leading a diverse, high performing team across 18 geographies in the Global Speakers Federation, Elias explains how leadership is more relationships than rules.
