Core leadership values

Excellence. Fairness. Relationships.

01

Excellence

Twenty years of Fortune 500 boardrooms, multi-billion-dollar P&Ls and the Barclays CEO Award. Excellence is a habit of preparation, rigour and follow-through, not a slogan.

02

Fairness & Equity

At Harvard Business School, Professor Linda Hill's work on leading collective genius made one thing clear: innovation only happens when every voice in the room is heard and judged on the merit of the idea. Charisma builds teams where the best idea wins, whoever brings it.

Prof. Linda A. Hill, Harvard Business School

Long-lasting Relationships

At Columbia Business School, Professor Paul Ingram's teaching on networks and relationships reframed leadership as a web of trust built over decades. Charisma invests in people long before she needs them, and long after.
