Fixing Financial Services with Better Leadership

Online

his event is inspired by the idea that the Financial Services Sector seems to be riddled with a “profit before principles” mindset and a “money before morals” mindset; and that, unfortunately, these mindsets might even exist amongst some of those in positions of leadership and influence. It could be argued that it’s impossible to imagine having a financial services sector that sincerely serves society, unless the policymakers, politicians, regulators, leaders of the major trade bodies and associations; and, of course, the leaders of all commercial organisations in the market, lead it correctly. We make this point because even just a casual glance at the level of fines against the financial services sector forces us to conclude that there has been, and continues to be, widespread malpractice, malfeasance, misconduct and mis-selling; all of which has taken place on the watch of those that have been in charge. If, like us, you want real and meaningful improvements to the financial system then please ‘stand up, not stand by’ – please get involved with the event because we need all the help that we can get to galvanise support for positive, progressive and purposeful finance reform.
