"It’s important to be to be able to go beyond surface level and really ask the right questions.”      In this clip from Suzie’s Q&A with Hugh Wood, they talked about how senior leaders do not need to be experts in every function, but they do need a strong understanding of the core concepts that drive each area of the business. In complex commercial roles, success comes from being able to look beyond surface-level detail, identify what truly matters and ask the right questions, enabling informed decision-making across disciplines where depth of expertise may vary.    Hugh Wood is a highly accomplished commercial leader with deep expertise across marketing, digital transformation, sales, and general management within hospitality and leisure. He has held senior leadership roles at globally recognised organisations including The Walt Disney Company and Parques Reunidos, where he led large-scale commercial transformations, scaled omni-channel businesses, and drove significant revenue growth across complex, multi-site operations. Today, Hugh is the owner of Hugh Wood Consulting, advising businesses on commercial strategy, growth, and transformation, alongside entrepreneurial ventures such as Terrible Tours. He also brings extensive experience as a board advisor, investor, and educator, including roles with London Business School and Cambridge Judge Business School.  You can watch the full Q&A in the Content Hub on our website.      #MarketingLeadership #PersonalGrowth #CareerDevelopment
