Leadership

Growing together. The VIG Group Performance Conference for managers and alumni of the three Leadership Development Programmes took place in Vienna at the end of June 2014. The focus of this high-level event was on working together on key challenges that are of special importance to the future of VIG. The aim was for top managers to receive an overall picture of the corporate strategy and the steps needed to achieve it. During the event, which lasted several days, around 100 VIG managers were assisted by renowned professor and business coach Fred Kofman, who in his opening speech provided valuable insights into management skills and the importance of a shared corporate culture. When asked for his feedback and impressions of the conference, Kofman said: “I was pleasantly surprised by the intelligent curiosity of the participants. There were many questions about how to apply the information we discussed in practice, which makes it clear they were really following the discussion and thinking about its content.”
