Innovation in Leadership and Leadership in Innovation

In this subject, profound insights will be drawn on how individual leaders can inspire and influence others for optimum performance, and how innovation in leadership will become a key differentiator between organizations that thrive and those that do not.

As businesses face evolving challenges, innovation will require aspects of leadership that will become dramatically more important, such as: insight, integrity, courage, and agility. These elements will be explored by this important subject. We would have various leaders in different industries including CEOs of vibrant startups to inspire participants by sharing their success stories.
