WHAT TO EXPECT

Leadership in a state of emergency – rethinking trust

The Odgers Manager Barometer 2025 depicts a leadership environment in a state of emergency.
We are facing conditions in which traditional answers no longer work – and leaders are forced to reinvent themselves.

Three findings stand out – and they are uncomfortable:

• 39% of executives plan to change roles within the next 12 months
  Confidence in stability is eroding faster than companies can respond

• 91% name communication as the most critical future skill
  Strategy alone is no longer enough – it is about resonance, direction and integrity

• 40% expect shorter customer–supplier relationships: For the CPO, that means faster decisions and more frequent realignment

Against this backdrop, we invite you to join us and Odgers for an evening where we will not talk about “best practices”, but about what is truly urgent:

• How can customer–supplier relationships be rethought strategically?

• What role does trust play in an increasingly volatile environment?

• How can organisations reshape collaboration to remain resilient?
