About this Podcast Episode: Set the Direction and Do Brilliant Things, with Karen Leftley, President of the BQF

With an infectious enthusiasm for business excellence, Karen Leftley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role of President of the British Quality Foundation. Under her leadership, every aspect of the much-valued membership organisation has been revamped, including a complete reimagining of the annual BQF UK Excellence Awards, with this year’s sold-out event taking place on 5th October 2023.

Join us for a fast-paced conversation covering all things change and transformation, including the importance of setting a clear direction, empowering people to experiment and learn, and showcasing brilliant achievements.

The Importance of Investing in your Network

You’ll hear in this Leading for Business Excellence that Karen emphasised that networking should not be a one-way conversation, but rather a two-way conversation where individuals think about how they can give back to their network. It’s interesting to hear Karen’s take on respecting different methodologies and allowing organisations to come to the table with their own stories and the role that the BQF plays in facilitating a wide range of relationships.
