Playing a full role in leading the business while also leading the HR function presents many dilemmas.

How can you as CPO navigate a path that delivers business results while maintaining your personal resilience and integrity?

‘As CPO, how do I lead through complexity and manage my anxiety’ was the first webinar in our new series ‘How to thrive as a CPO in today’s world of work’ and took place on 2nd December 2024.

We looked at the challenging aspects of the CPO, CHRO or HRD role:

• The complexity of driving business success in today’s fast-changing world of work, and
• The anxiety that can arise from having too many demands, conflicting stakeholder agendas and limited resources.

Our guest speakers were Rupert Brown and Asad Husain.

Rupert Brown has experienced turbulent change during his HR career and as CPO, and has researched what it takes to survive and thrive in this challenging role. He’ll share what he’s learned from interviewing many CPOs and other CXOs, CEOs and Chairs as well as his own experience.

Asad Husain has been CHRO 4 times in varied sectors and has achieved HR transformations in fast-moving and complex environments. He will add his experience and share approaches that worked for him.
