The Future of Leadership

Held over two sessions in October 2023, the fifth event in the Edinburgh Futures Conversations Series will seek to explore what future leadership could look like.

There is a distinction between leaders and leadership. The former conjures up the image of a single figure, a command-and-control top-down approach. The latter is broader and acknowledges different types of leadership. In the case of both leaders and leadership, there is a focus on powers, resources, and institutional parameters, but also on the traits or the characteristics required for good leadership. 

Leadership in Times of Crisis

The flagship panel event opened the fifth in the University of Edinburgh’s Futures Conversations series and discussed key leadership themes around driving change, transparency, engagement, inclusion, trust, and purpose.
