Join BMI Executive Institute, in collaboration with the British Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, for an executive conversation on how senior leaders intentionally build the right circle around them – and why it matters.

The discussion will focus on four themes:

• Avoiding the lure of power and entitlement: maintaining humility, perspective, and ethical clarity.
• Mentors, mirrors, and sponsors: who guides you, challenges you, and advocates for you – and how to cultivate these roles.
• Collaborative decision-making: how to structure executive dialogue so you do not decide alone.
• The CEO-Board Chair relationship: how to make it a source of strength rather than tension.

Format:

Expert opening insights by Piers Cumberlege, Adjunct Professor of Leadership at HEC Paris, followed by a conversation with Neringa Petrauskaitė, Partner at We Are Marketing and Chairwoman of the British Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, Gary Bills, Chief Operating Officer, Renewables Division at Ignitis Group, and Board Member of the British Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, with Q&A and networking.
