We are delighted to announce that the fifth instalment of this series will be delivered by the well-known and well-respected Prof. Dr. Aung Tun Thet on the topic of “Servant First” Leader.

 

ABOUT THE SESSION

‘Servant/First’ Leadership is leadership style which is contrary to traditional understanding of leadership. It requires authenticity and humility on the part of leaders. The seminar will address the questions of ‘why’, ‘how’, and ‘what’ of servant leaderships. It will also touch on how business leaders can apply servant leadership principles in the workplace. The 10 Principles of Servant Leadership will be shared as well as the 7 characteristics of servant leaders. It is hoped that the seminar will promote rethinking and refocusing of leadership styles to be in congruence with contemporary times.
