An honest look at how Oxfordshire leaders are shaping the future of work.

What does it really mean to be a future-fit leader?

In the lead-up to the Oxfordshire Business Summit 2025, I spoke to senior leaders across the region – from science and manufacturing to hospitality and public service – about the challenges they’re facing and how they’re adapting.

The result?
A collection of powerful, practical insights that go beyond surface-level wellbeing or outdated leadership models.

This free eBook brings together their reflections (and mine) on what leadership needs to look like if we’re serious about building inclusive, resilient, high-performing workplaces.

Inside, we explore:

✔ The 6 key themes emerging from businesses leading the way
✔ What it takes to create agile, people-first cultures that truly work
✔ Why emotional intelligence, adaptability, and purpose are no longer ‘nice to have’ – they’re essential leadership tools

Watch below or head to OBS2025 Videos and select Session 7: “We have a future talent problem” (catch me at 8:18 & again 5 minutes before the end) but I would urge you to watch it in full to benefit from the panel’s insights.

The future of work isn’t coming. It’s already here.

And it’s time leadership caught up.
