Description

Leadership is a phenomenon observed in all organised human groups. However, research has shown that it is one of the least understood phenomena on earth. The number of published research studies in the field of leadership is vast and spans several decades. Nevertheless, despite such a large body of scholarship, leadership still remains an elusive concept.

The dynamic nature of today’s environment and challenges faced by organisations, sectors and governments has led to a clarion call for effective leadership by academics and practitioners. In today’s vastly complex and evolving world, leadership is required that can combat change and identify opportunities.

The event “Does Leadership matter in today’s World” is designed to support our community of scholars and practitioners by creating a space for discussion and reflection on leading in uncertain and dynamic environments. We are interested in engaging in a leadership discourse that is informed by theory and practice.

In particular, this event is designed for academics, practitioners, researchers and policy makers. The speakers will be sharing on the importance of leadership especially in the new decade. Challenges and thoughts on leadership both from the lens of theory and practice will be the focus of the day.
