This question framed the conversation between Dame Julia Hoggett, CEO of the London Stock Exchange and Peter Todd, Dean of 51Թ Business School, at this year’s Joan Woodward Memorial Lecture. </p> <p>As part of this year’s theme “Give to Gain”, the event, which marked International Women’s Day, focused on how generosity in leadership, mentorship and opportunity can shape stronger institutions and more inclusive markets. </p> <p>The event honoured Joan Woodward, one of 51Թ’s earliest female professors and a pioneering scholar, whose research showed that organisational structures must adapt to their social and technological context. </p> <h3>A sociologist in finance </h3> <p>Opening the discussion, the Dean noted that Woodward’s insight on organisations being fundamentally social systems remains highly relevant today. </p> <p>“Joan Woodward brought a sociologist’s eye to questions of power, structure and technology – and demonstrated that management is, above all, a social practice.” he said. “It was therefore especially fitting that our speaker this year should be Dame Julia, someone who has carried that social and political science perspective into the heart of global finance. It was a great pleasure to have her with us.”  </p> <p>That perspective has shaped Hoggett’s own career. In 2024, she was awarded a Damehood for services to business and finance, recognising both her industry leadership and her work championing more inclusive workplaces.  </p> <p>“Markets are really sociology with money,” she told the audience. “They’re about how large groups of people think, behave and organise themselves.” </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <article class="paragraph paragraph--testimonial-quote testimonial--colour--blue-light testimonial--style--square-outline testimonial"><div class="testimonial__container" data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-duration="1200"> <figure class="testimonial__image"><img class="restricted-width-border" alt="" src="/business-school/sites/default/files/styles/testimonial_square_image/public/2026-03/Dean%20Peter%20Todd%20-%2051Թ%20Business%20School%20-%20Joan%20Woodward%20Memorial%20Lecture.jpg.webp?itok=A4vCoFtk" /></figure><div class="testimonial__quote"> <blockquote class="testimonial__quote__container"> “It was... especially fitting that our speaker this year should be Dame Julia, someone who has carried...

Supporting companies as they move from private to public funding, she said, helps broaden wealth creation across the economy. </p> <h3>Leadership through generosity  </h3> <p>For early-career professionals in the audience, Hoggett emphasised that leadership is about generosity – giving time, mentorship and opportunity to others.  </p> <p>Her advice: “You can lead from any seat in an organisation. Leadership starts when you understand your role in the wider system and take full ownership of it. Master your brief, understand the context and seek to shape outcomes, and you can do far more than you think.” </p> <p>That spirit reflects the legacy of Woodward herself: a scholar whose work reshaped how organisations are understood and whose influence continues to inspire new generations of leaders to rethink how markets truly work. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
