Richard’s Talk: “Leading from the Shadows“
The key to success lies in getting to the top – right?
Deputy Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi, Richard Hytner doesn’t agree.
Not everyone can be No. 1, and more importantly not everyone wants to be. This doesn’t mean that everyone else has failed. Not lusting to be the out and out leader? This doesn’t mean you lack ambition or that you cannot find success or fulfilment from other leadership roles. What Richard will show is that there is great strength in being a number two and that much can be achieved from what some dismiss as the side lines.
Join Richard Hytner at the LBDC (Lawyers’ Business Development Club) celebrating the second-in-commands, the ‘consiglieri’: Merlin to King Arthur, Al Gore to Bill Clinton, Rasputin to the Russian Royal Family. These are the deputies, Vice-Presidents, Personal Assistants, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Department Heads, First Lieutenants and First Violins whose influence determines the fate of countries, companies and individual ventures all over the world.
We’ll learn how to lead from behind and what it is about being a number two that many of us, whatever our number, can apply to our work and personal lives.

– Lynda Gratton, Professor of Management Practice, London Business School
‘A fascinating account of the role of the leaders behind the leader – there are lessons here for every walk of life.’

‘Films and plays are littered with examples of the nefarious deputy, from Iago to Macbeth, Darth Vader and Scar in The Lion King. Richard Hytner rescues the deputy from the “disgruntled schemer” and instead celebrates their creative, supportive, positive impact in life, business, sport and even art.’
