Our Partners Jeremy Cohen and Richard Macklin, who is also a member of the Meyler Campbell teaching faculty, discuss common challenges in executive coaching and the issues that can arise if they are not handled professionally.
As AI makes intelligence more accessible, the qualities that set leaders apart are becoming increasingly human: judgement, presence, self-awareness and the ability to create trust.
In our conversations with tech leaders and CEOs of tech-enabled businesses, the tone is noticeably different. AI is no longer ‘emerging’ – it’s here. And with it comes a burning question: what kind of leader do you need to be when AI runs through the fabric of your organisation?
Our late founder Graham Alexander talks about the traits great leaders share across cultures and industries – from clarity, passion and resilience to self-awareness and smart delegation – and why the best surround themselves with exceptional people to perform under pressure.
Hard conversations fuel trust, clarity, and better decisions. When leaders model candour and curiosity, teams move beyond polished updates to real dialogue – unlocking sharper thinking, stronger relationships, and more resilient performance.
Strategic alignment only sticks when leaders shape it together. Co-creating strategy builds ownership, clarity, and conviction – uniting executive teams behind a shared direction and driving stronger, more consistent performance.
