21st Century Lessons in Leadership (Invite only)

-

Now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, what have leaders learned from their experience of a dynamic and constantly changing culture? And what kinds of skills will the future require of those driving changes? With AI coming on board at most firms, trends toward remote-working, and the growing importance of geostrategy in investment conversations, leaders are confronting significant shifts in their organizations. Contributors to this off-record discussion will discuss how leadership itself must adapt to keep up with the markets, as they also ask how management can make difficult decisions when seismic shifts reconfigure the landscape?
