Description
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on businesses globally, now more than ever, it has become imperative for leaders to possess qualities and expertise to lead organisations through crises. The pandemic has created opportunities for organisational innovation and creativity and leaders must be able to take advantage of these opportunities for survival. This webinar brings together two resource persons from industry and academia who will engage in a leadership discourse that is informed by theory and practice.
Leadership has been a subject of wide debate in both the public and private sectors and there has been a plethora of academic research and publications on the subject. The importance of good leadership in these unprecedented times of great risks and threats will be discussed in different contexts, drawing upon the expertise of the panelists.
