Ann Francke, OBE, Chief Executive-Chartered Management Institute

The Thoughtful Leader with Mindy Gibbins-Klein

Episode 018 Turning Managers into Leaders with Ann Francke, OBE, Chief Executive-Chartered Management Institute

Ann Francke is Chief Executive of the Chartered Management Institute, the UK's leading professional body for management and leadership with over 150-thousand members worldwide.

During the past year, CMI completed extensive research on how and why leadership is changing because of the global pandemic. It perfectly suited Ann to lead this research based on her own leadership roles at Procter & Gamble and in senior executive positions at Mars, Boots, Yell and BSI. In 2020, Ann was awarded an OBE for services to workplace equality.

Ann is an expert on gender balance in the workplace and frequently speaks in the media and at conferences. Her book, Create a Gender-balanced Workplace, was published in September 2019. Ann holds several board positions and five Honorary Doctorates for her work in management and leadership.

In our conversation, Ann speaks about the latest CMI leadership research including:

Examples of how leadership is changing post pandemic.

People leave leaders, not organizations.

The positive results when people respect their line managers.

The past year-a health, financial and mental health crisis.

Employees are no longer putting up with poor leadership.

Being a thoughtful leader means managing with a human face.

The NIH-an example of thoughtful leadership.
