We’re excited to announce the release of the Association Leadership Compass, a comprehensive guide designed to support both emerging and experienced leaders in trade associations and professional bodies. Launched in partnership with the Trade Association Forum (TAF), this report provides a roadmap for Chief Executives to navigate their leadership journey effectively.

The Association Leadership Compass outlines nine key areas essential to effective leadership:

·      The Essence of Leadership

·      Strategic Financial Management

·      Support Governance

·      Plan and Deliver Strategy

·      Advocate

·      Lead Volunteers

·      Maximise Commercial Opportunity

·      Engage Community & Stakeholders

·      Lead Operations

Each section is filled with actionable insights, targeted development support, and training resources to help leaders refine their skills and make a lasting impact in their organisations.
