The Big Kahuna Leadership Survey’ conducted by Donovan Leadership collects the views of fifty influential business and community leaders, with
the dual aim of both countering the negative analysis in the market place about the Global Financial Crisis and providing an opportunity for a dialogue between leaders on what it will take to meet the challenges ahead.

We asked the Big Kahuna respondents the following three questions.

• What is your key leadership challenge over the next twelve months?
• What are the top 2-3 attributes that you and leaders around you need to meet those challenges?
• How are those attributes best developed?
