TWF Women to Watch breakfast with Professor John Quelch of HBS

Thank you to Catherine Zhu and Egon Zehnder for partnering with us once again and giving us access to John!

Me and Anne Farlow at this morning's TWF Women to Watch breakfast with Professor John Quelch who taught Anne at HBS 20 years ago! John has had a distinguished board career with companies like WPP, Pepsi Bottling Group, Blue Circle, easyjet and Pentland. According to John, a critical mass of women on a board makes for much more collegiate effective decision-making!  It was such a delight to hear from an academic who marries theory with real world practical experience.

Our women to watch listening intently to Professor John Quelch of HBS speaking on leading change and how to embed digital skills in companies.

Professor Quelch's change management paradigm. Women make good change agents given their communication skills and attention to detail.

Professor Quelch: Everyone should read Peter Drucker!

Prof Quelch: Snapple is an example of a pre-Internet digital-centric brand polling customers on flavours and involving them in defining brand meaning.

Professor Quelch's key qualities for an effective leader: wisdom, courage and a degree of selflessness.
