Haskayne Hour | Identifying leaders for a changing world - Now Online

Are leaders created or are they born? How do we find the right ones for the future? Are there leadership behaviours that transcend remote versus in-person work?

We invite you to join us as we bring together a Haskayne researcher, Dr. Julie Weatherhead, PhD along with Distinguished Business Leader Award recipient Andrea Robertson ICD.D, President and CEO STARS. Together, they will explore leadership selection and training from both a research perspective and what happens in practice. Expect some debate about what kind of leadership will be needed in our changing world – and how we will find those leaders.

Haskayne Hour brings together researchers and executives to explore ideas in one hour. After 60 minutes you will leave with new knowledge to build better business practice and insights on how to plan for the future. Haven't been to a Haskayne Hour? Check out our archives.

In order to reach a broader audience of Haskayne community supporters and alumni we have decided to pivot this event to an online format.
