About the Webinar

Traditional hierarchical models of leadership are no longer relevant in today’s fast paced environment. It is essential for organizations to rethink and challenge orthodox notions of leadership. This involves a shift in leadership approaches by recognizing the diverse and collective intelligence of its members. It requires humility and letting go of perfection
