Sheffield congratulates this year's winners of the Sir Peter Blake Trust Leadership Awards, announced at a ceremony to launch Leadership Week (25 June to 2 July 2010).

As part of our Leadership Week, we held a Brown Bag lunch in Auckland, focusing on 'The Team Challenge'. In Wellington, our event featured Sarah-Jane Blake - daughter of Sir Peter - and Fran Wilde, who is on the selection panel for the Leadership Awards. We received excellent feedback from both events, confirming that growing great leadership is indeed an area of concern for our clients.

We have enjoyed a three-year association with the Sir Peter Blake Trust, and are proud to play our part in developing New Zealand's leadership pipeline.

Are you failing the interview?
