Leading with Purpose, Fuelling Leadership Impact: A Fireside Chat with Sonia Gupta, Global Head Leadership Development at Diageo

“Your leadership purpose is who you are and what makes you distinctive. Its not what you do, it is how you do your job and why” (Craig & Snook)

There is a clear business case that where employees feel they can bring their whole selves to work and live their personal purpose, they are more engaged, committed and impactful and this is ever growing, as we reset our ways of working and values post COVID.

Sonia Gupta, Global Head Leadership Development at Diageo explains Diageo's personal leadership purpose is the key to enabling everyone to authentically navigate the ever increasingly complex environment whilst bringing greater impact, focus and wellbeing to both theirs selves and those around us.

But developing and living your leadership purpose is an evolutionary journey – it can take years and takes committed actions every day

This chat from the 2023 Employee Engagement Summit explored why leadership purpose is important and how you can develop and live your purpose.
