At Connex Leadership Networks, we understand that emerging leaders in the housing sector face unique challenges—and that the journey to effective leadership requires more than traditional strategies. We gathered valuable insights into how emerging leaders can set themselves apart in today’s competitive landscape through personal branding, resilience, and collaboration. In our June 2023 roundtable "Lead Into Your Future", we explored what it means to strategically build a personal brand in today’s evolving landscape. For emerging leaders, having control over one’s career path is more feasible than ever, and making intentional, forward-thinking choices is crucial for success.  From building a personal brand that resonates with purpose to exploring innovative, cost-efficient approaches to leadership programmes. We examined the critical need for mental well-being, resilience, and the power of authentic networks in navigating this sector’s unique demands. Our leaders shared actionable strategies, from prioritising inclusion and addressing diversity, to actively fostering spaces for underrepresented voices.
