London Seminar Programme 2026

Lessons from a lifetime of Leadership mistakes The session on Day 2 builds on the material delivered in Greg’s Day 1 session. However, it focusses on management and leadership lessons, and stands alone. There is no requirement to have attended Part 1. Greg Savage has had considerable success over a 5-decade career in recruitment, having owned and built three companies that reached over $100 million in revenue. Managing and leading are particularly challenging, and you will screw up. However, Greg says your failures do not define you. How you respond does. The narrative draws on a lifetime of personal errors, mistakes, misjudgements and misaligned attitudes. Touching broadly on the recruitment and career errors covered in Part 1, this session focuses on mistakes and learnings as a manager, leader, business owner, and Advisor. Greg shows us that the secret sauce is developing self-awareness and a determination not to blame luck, ‘the market’ or other people. In work, business and life, Greg illustrates through his blunders with all aspects of leadership, including people, hiring, performance management, metrics and KPIs, finances, strategy, team building, technology, and much more, that it’s what you have done or not done that dictates the outcome. All attendees will gain tremendous value by looking at what he got wrong and how he improved over time.
