Leadership Dinner

Operational Listening: Bridging the Strategy & Execution Gap

Monday 5th October 2026 6pm GMT The Library, Vintry and Mercer, London

You're invited to an intimate, off-the-record dinner for leaders across hospitality, retail and professional services, ready to take employee listening further, into the operational decisions. So we're asking: how do you listen and lead effectively when you can't be everywhere at once? Let's discuss.

The best leaders walk the floor. They spot problems early and bridge the gap between strategy and execution. But in big organisations, that’s almost impossible. Too many people. Too many places. Too many conversations.

The result? Brilliant ideas get lost. Course corrections come too late. And employees feel unheard.

 

This is an intimate, off-the-record dinner for a small group of like-minded leaders facing the same challenge: how do you listen and lead effectively when you can't be everywhere at once?

 

Hosted by David Fairhurst, CEO & Founder of OrgShakers, former CPO at McDonald's and HR Director at Tesco, and Ryan Tahmassebi, People Science Director at WorkBuzz, working with brands such as Five Guys, Arnold Clark, AS Watson and Butlin’s.

 

No slides. No pitch. Just peer-to-peer discussion designed to surface the challenges you're facing and practical, modern approaches that are working.
