Finding the right leaders is a key challenge for any business.  As part of our on-going exploration of Wonder Women in marketing we spoke to Alastair Paton, Managing Partner, Europe at the global executive search firm August Leadership.

Katy and I asked him about what characteristics are needed in a good leader nowadays, and how well the current search process addresses the challenge of finding more diverse candidates.

His thought-provoking comments and challenges suggest how things need to evolve to ensure more diverse candidates can get the equal opportunity they deserve.
