Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at Deabadh! ☘️

Leadership, Legacy, and Transformation ☘️ A St. Patrick’s Message for Leaders William Warren, CEO, Deabadh At Deabadh, being an Irish business isn’t just about our origins—it’s about the values that shape us: legacy, resilience, and innovation. These same qualities define great leadership, particularly in family businesses, where the balance between heritage and progress is critical to success. As we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we take inspiration from Ireland’s literary giants, whose words continue to guide leaders through uncertainty and transformation: 🔥 Proactivity, as W.B. Yeats reminds us: “Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.” 💪 Resilience, echoed by Samuel Beckett: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” ✨ Authenticity, with Oscar Wilde’s timeless wisdom: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” 🌊 Vision, beautifully captured by Seamus Heaney: “A further shore is reachable from here.” 🔍 Discovery, as James Joyce taught us: “Mistakes are… the portals of discovery.” As leaders, we face the ongoing challenge of building high-performance teams, making bold decisions, and ensuring the longevity of our businesses. And as an Irish proverb reminds us: 💚 Ní neart go cur le chéile—There is no strength without unity. From all of us at Deabadh, we wish you a St. Patrick’s Day filled with inspiration, leadership, and continued success. 🔥 Attracting & Retaining Top Talent in 2025 The Leadership Advantage for Family Businesses The war for top leadership talent is intensifying. Family businesses in industries such as food, technology, and private markets need to position themselves as employers of choice. The key? A compelling leadership narrative. ✅ Attracting Talent: Today’s executives are drawn to purpose-driven organizations that balance legacy with innovation. As the Irish say, “Tús maith leath na hoibre”—A good start is half the work. Positioning your business effectively is the first step in securing top-tier leadership. ✅ Retaining Talent: In a competitive landscape, retention is about more than compensation—it’s about culture, alignment, and leadership development. The Irish wisdom “Is ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine”—We live in each other’s shadow—reminds us that strong leadership is built on trust and shared purpose. 💡 What’s your biggest challenge in leadership hiring and retention this year? Let’s discuss how Deabadh can support your talent strategy. 🔄 Transformation & Leadership: Lessons for CEOs Navigating Change with Clarity and Purpose The pace of business transformation is accelerating, with digitalization, AI, and changing consumer demands reshaping industries. But as leaders, it’s not technology alone that determines success—it’s how we lead through change. ⚡ What sets high-impact leaders apart? • Decisiveness in uncertain environments. • Resilience in the face of failure and reinvention. • The ability to bring people along the journey. As Seamus Heaney said, “Believe that a further shore is reachable from here.” Transformation requires the vision to see beyond today’s constraints and the leadership to get there. 📌 Is your leadership team prepared for the next wave of business transformation?
