Independent accounting and business advisory firm Hurst has announced the launch of a Vistage Inside leadership programme for 12 of its staff.
Hurst’s bespoke Developing Leaders initiative is being delivered by Victoria Gee,
former managing partner at executive search company Warren Partners.
Vistage, with 45,000 members worldwide, is a global leader in personal development
and advisory groups for CEOs, key executives and leadership teams.
The two-year Vistage Inside programme combines tailored workshops with speaker
sessions, insight papers, webinars and one-to-one coaching.
The programme began this month with a full-day workshop and a talk by award- winning speaker, business author and ‘corporate athlete’ Brad Waldron.
Chris Stewardson, partner at Hurst, said: “The partners firmly believe it is essential to equip our developing leaders with the commercial, client and people skills to ensure the continued success and growth of the practice.
Several of the Hurst board have benefited from Vistage membership for some time, and we are now bringing Vistage to a wider group of people in the firm who are developing into a leadership role. The group is very excited to be working with Victoria to assist with their self-development and look forward to putting their learning into practice.”
Gee added: “Hurst’s senior leaders have seen the value of developing their skills
and knowledge in partnership with our organisation, and it’s great to see the firm
taking an impressively proactive approach to developing its leaders of the future and
investing to ensure they continue to meet the expectations of its entrepreneurial
client base and team.
“The practice has a fantastic culture, a great reputation and a strong position in the
market, which all set it apart, but its leaders understand they cannot be complacent
as they compete to attract, retain and grow their talent.”
