CEO’s share their experience and insights as we navigate new seas
ISL Leader Forum and Pulse
What is the ISL Leader Forum?
The ISL Leader Forum is a community created by ISL to discuss the tsunami of changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and leadership tactics to thrive during this time.
Each week, leading business journalist and commentator, Andrew Patterson will interview a panel of senior leaders facing similar challenges to you in order to share their experiences and learnings.
To gain insights into the state of our current leadership we also developed the ISL Leader Pulse. A weekly survey that provides key insights into the current mojo, productivity, and engagement of our senior leaders.

ISL Leader Pulse
In the current crisis it is crucial to keep a finger on the pulse of our community and private sector leaders. Therefore, in each forum ISL will also publish the results of a weekly ISL LEADER PULSE – a survey providing key insights on the ‘mojo’, productivity and leadership effectiveness of senior leaders in New Zealand, Australia and beyond.
Download the key findings from the first ISL LEADER PULSE below.
The ISL LEADER PULSE is powered by MyTeamPulse. To check out MyTeamPulse and to unlock your team’s potential.
