2008 Forums

Next Management Express Forum:

Date  Thursday 16 October 2008  
Venue  British Council Dakar  
Timetable  1730 – 1900 
Subject  “Management Versus Leadership: the African Challenge”
facilitated by Karima Grant, Core Concepts Consultant 
 

Management theorists Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis have said: “Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things.”

In a globalised world, the challenge for business sustainability and growth effectively lies in this important distinction. What are the assumptions of management and how do they compare to the assumptions of leadership? How can leaders become catalysts for positive change? How do leaders inspire and promote pro-activity while doubling revenues and increasing profits?
