“Leadership is a disposition and attitude, not just a role” with Prof. Daire Keogh, President of Dublin City University

Daire talks to Mark about becoming President of DCU at the start of the Covid pandemic. He explains how he kept the university focussed on its mission at a time of global crisis. Daire shares his insights on building and supporting great teams, the importance of character and showing up for others. His vision for DCU graduates is that they are grounded as regards their discipline as well as being rounded as individuals without a sense of entitlement.   Explainer:  “The Woodquay Campaign” drew huge public support in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s for the preservation of an important Viking settlement site rather than the construction of a new HQ for Dublin Corporation.
