We live in a world where the need for strong leadership has significantly increased in the post GFC environment.
The economic and business environment is ever changing, and today’s leaders are required to take informed decisions that will significantly affect the interests of many, many people. So we must continue to develop leaders as an investment in our future.
One of the most important factors in the development of leaders is education. This is not just a career issue – it’s about developing yourself to the benefit of family and community.
Join us to hear from Professor Mark Stewart as he examines these issues and seeks to provide answers that will impact who you are and what you do..
• How do executives progress to become leaders?
• What skills and training do you need?
• How is this information acquired?
• What is ‘important’ knowledge?
• Why is learning about yourself important?
• How to make learning a part of your lifelong learning regime
