Presentation
The Leadership Forum is open to students, alumni, managers, business leaders, policy makers and leadership and management scholars. The aim of this forum is to act as spaces to re-envision leadership for global and human flourishing through challenging traditional assumptions about leadership and exploring alternative framings of leadership and collaborative approaches that could serve to equip individuals, leaders and managers, groups, and communities in dealing with the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of the present and the future.
In the forum, practitioners and scholars will present their leadership experiences and different approaches and theories of leadership and/or empirical research for discussion and debate. Emphasis will be placed on the discussion of leadership development in terms of appropriate skills and competencies for leading in complex and challenging times.
In this first forum, with a focus on visons and delusions for and of the future, we start to (re-) envision what responsible and sustainable leadership could look like, moving deeper into the 21st century as we grapple with its many societal, economic, organisational and environmental challenges. We also confront some of the delusions concerning what leadership can or can’t do and who can or can’t lead. In so doing we embrace diversity and inclusiveness and consider how to best equip leaders and managers with suitable skills and competencies for rising to these challenges.
At the end of the forum, a cocktail will be organized to allow guests to meet and continue the discussions.
