We recently hosted The Leadership Blueprint, a live webinar exploring what drives successful leadership performance, execution and cultural strength in private equity–backed organisations. Drawing on our independent research across 593 UK PE-backed companies, the session featured expert insight from senior leaders actively working in and alongside the PE ecosystem.

During the webinar, we heard from:

• Paul Lester CBE – A Chair with experience across multiple PE portfolio companies
• Rory Shedden – A CEO leading a PE-backed digital growth business

Together with our host, Inclusion Live CEO, Esther Crew, they shared honest reflections on leadership behaviours that make a real difference in execution, momentum and organisational culture.

The discussion was rich with practical perspectives on how leadership and culture interact during periods of rapid growth, scale and performance pressure and what it really looks like when an organisation is preparing for what comes next.

Whether you’re a board member, senior executive, leadership or HR professional in PE-backed or investor-led businesses, the insights shared were not to be missed.
