​Flat hierarchies, often celebrated because they’re great for employees. But what do they mean for leaders and L&D teams?

​Ally Jones (Leadership Coach) and Chichi Eruchalu (Head of Leadership Development, Multiverse) are joined us live to answer that very question.

​From why leaders are people we want to follow and leadership is a behaviour, not a title, to how we build high-trust cultures and self-management - we tackled a rarely-covered part of the flat hierarchy conversation.
