The leadership read
Restructuring reshapes the leadership profile as much as the cost base. For Berkeley in the sector, it shifts demand toward transformation and turnaround leaders who hold delivery steady while the organisation changes shape. Across EMEA, watch where Berkeley still invests in leadership; that is the part it means to keep.
