Leadership - Entrepreneurs Journey 28th June 2021

Last month on our Searchlight – Entrepreneurs Journey program we looked at ‘Building the right team’, almost inevitably, that discussion started to touch on the importance of good Leadership. So in this month’s program we take a deeper dive into the topic of Leadership. A much talked about and highly valued role and combination of attributes, yet one that can also be somewhat ephemeral and difficult to pin down.  - What is ‘Leadership’ and what does it really mean to be a leader, especially in a business context? - Can the skills of being a leader be learned, or are there some innate personality traits that are necessary prerequisites to being a good leader? - What can those in leadership positions in business learn from other areas where good leadership is critical? Joining co-hosts John Burkett and Sharyn Doolan is a stellar line up of guests to offer some unique insights into the topic of Leadership.
