The second Aitken Spence Staff Convention was held recently at Aitken Spence Towers.

The guest speaker, brand development consultant Michel Nugawela introduced the audience to Leadership Archetyping, a disruptive Jungian psychological approach to individuation and leadership, based on 12 archetypal dimensions of leadership that are able to significantly enhance and transform executive and team performance by connecting cognitive functions with the unconscious mind.
At the Staff Convention, JMS Brito unveiled the “Spensonian” employee brand and Stasshani Jayawardena presented a token of appreciation to Shan Perera, Assistant Sales Manager of Aitken Spence Aviation, who developed the name. Brito also launched the Diamond Awards, a series of accolades to recognize and reward creativity and innovative performance across the group, and recognized Nalin Jayasundera, Managing Director of Aitken Spence Travels, for conceptualizing the rewards initiative.
Brito further recognized four outstanding Spensonians for their long-standing contribution to the group, including Susith Jayawickrama, Managing Director, Aitken Spence Hotel Managements; Anil Hapugoda, Assistant Vice President, Aitken Spence Travels; Priyantha Perera, Manager Clerical and Subordinate Staff Payroll, Aitken Spence Corporate Finance; and Siripala Konara, Manager HR and Administration, Aitken Spence Shipping.
