TBE Show 2026 | The Rethink Collective Presents: Why Better Leaders Aren’t Enough🎤
TBE Show returns to the University of Bath School of Management on Thursday 17th September.
This year the event is bigger and better, with more opportunities for networking, showcasing and exploring a diverse range of topics.
One such opportunity is being facilitated by The Rethink Collective, who will be discussing Why Better Leaders Aren’t Enough ahead of their networking lunch session.
We’ve all been taught that great businesses are built by great leaders.
But what if that’s no longer true?
As organisations grow, become more complex and face unprecedented technological change, the traditional model of leadership is beginning to break down. Founders become bottlenecks, leadership teams become dependent, decisions slow down and organisations struggle to adapt. The answer isn’t simply developing better individual leaders.
It’s rethinking leadership altogether.
In this thought-provoking session, leadership coaches and founders of The Rethink Collective, Alice Bea-Crozier and Nick Cramp, will challenge some of the most deeply held assumptions about leadership and introduce a new way of thinking: Collective Leadership.
Known for taking leaders out of the day-to-day and creating the space to think differently, whether through strategy sessions, workshops or retreats, Alice and Nick believe the best leadership conversations happen when we step outside our usual environment, challenge our assumptions and make sense of an increasingly complex world together. This session brings that same philosophy to the 2026 TBE Show stage.
Drawing on their experience working with founder-led businesses, they’ll explore why leadership should no longer be viewed as the responsibility of a few individuals, but as a capability intentionally built throughout an organisation. They’ll share the mindset shifts required to move beyond founder dependency and create businesses that are more resilient, adaptable and future-fit.
Whether you’re a founder, CEO or leader navigating growth, you’ll leave with a fresh perspective on what leadership needs to become in the years ahead.
Perhaps it’s time to stop asking…
“How do we create better leaders?”
…and start asking…
“How do we create organisations where leadership naturally emerges?”
To hear Alice and Nick’s perspective on Collective Leadership and join the conversation, visit TBE Show 2026 on Thursday 17th September at the University of Bath School of Management. Book your space here.
