Our Perspectives
Alumni Global's perspectives on leadership, succession and board governance
Alumni Global works with executive search, board services and leadership assessment and development. Here we gather our articles and perspectives on leadership, drawing on what we learn from the boards, CEOs and leadership teams we work with, and from our events such as the Alumni Executive Summit. The topics range across leadership in change, succession, board governance, AI leadership and how organisations develop their leaders, written by our consultants for those who lead, recruit or serve on a board.
Leading Through the Fog: Sustaining Momentum and Making Progress in Times of Great Uncertainty
In uncertain times, leaders create momentum through small, purposeful actions rather than by waiting for a perfect plan. Alumni Global sets out five practices for leaders: anchor in purpose, embrace micro-decisions, lead with transparency and humanity, create feedback loops and celebrate progress, with perspectives from Sara Pettersson and Pauline Nilsson Cattaneo.
Creating new paths for future growth
Interim managers give organisations a fast, flexible way to close a leadership or skills gap while a permanent recruitment takes its course. Pauline Nilsson Cattaneo of Alumni Global explains what sets strong interim managers apart: deep experience, little need for onboarding, an unbiased outside view and a focus on measurable results within a set timeframe.
What does it take to step into a void?
When a senior executive leaves suddenly or a specialist skill is missing, an interim manager can bridge the gap within days. Alumni Global describes what sets good interim managers apart: a wealth of experience, little need for onboarding, an unbiased view and a focus on measurable results within a specified timeframe.
