VCS Assembly - Adaptive leadership in uncertain times Wednesday 19 November 2025
Thank you to Penny Wilson who facilitated the VCS Assembly titled Adaptive leadership in uncertain times on 19 November.
It was a great learning session and KCSC will be diving into the feedback to help inform future topics and sector development needs.
Some feedback from participants who attended told us what they hoped to get out of the session such as ‘to gather some insights for weathering the forthcoming storm’ and ‘to think about how to lead the board though a new strategy in challenging times’.
