Leadership is the process of leading individuals as a group to achieve a common objective. The objectives of leadership are geared towards bringing out the best in employees by communicating effectively about what needs to be done and why it matters. In addition, effective leaders strive to bring out the best in employees through careful instruction as well as management practices aimed at motivating workers to do their best. Successful leaders achieve these objectives through a mixture of natural ability and commitment to improving their leadership skills. Our special focus includes leading growth and innovation, thriving amidst uncertainty, and building enduring organizations. How should individuals and organizations best prepare for expanding and innovating, coping with faster rates of change and greater uncertainties, and building leadership teams and organizational architectures that are competitive and sustainable. The Conference brings together scholars from the entire spectrum of leadership including corporate leadership. The Conference will feature papers and panels from all academic disciplines. A primary purpose of this Conference is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and facilitate the exchange of ideas on the broad subject of Leadership.
