Whether you agree with her handling of Brexit or not, one thing you can't ignore is the Prime Minister's resilience, one of several qualities that have come to define her leadership.
But it is, of course, the delivery of Brexit that has thrust her into the limelight - her handling of the crisis offering lessons business leaders can learn from.Back in 2016, May campaigned to remain in the EU. On becoming Prime Minister, she accepted the result of the vote and pledged to deliver the U.K.’s departure. From May’s relentless drive to achieve the deal –- matched to her famous “red lines”, it is difficult to remember that she had ever been anything other than a Leaver.
, during the European Withdrawal Act’s year-long passage through Parliament, May’s problems immediately became a whole lot harder.The Conservative Party, like any other political party, represents a range of political opinions out of which a compromise must be achieved. But, following the general election of 2017, May lost her majority. It meant that forming alliances both within her party and across Parliament was important than ever to deliver a majority in “a meaningful vote”.
It is like a CEO recognising that their business model was under threat, hiring one of the Big Five global consultancies to refashion the company, announcing it to colleagues, customers and partners before promptly enacting the transformation. If you’ve worked in a company where that happened, you know what happens next. Little if no buy-in, demotivated teams and departure of the talent.
