Worldly leadership is needed more than ever. An increasingly more globalised world provides both opportunities and challenges. We would like to explore how ‘Worldly Leadership’ can be developed and practised more effectively. So what is Worldly Leadership?
Worldly leadership invites us to embrace leadership wisdoms from many different cultures. According to Professor Sharon (Turnbull), one of our Advisors, ‘Leadership wisdoms beyond Western-centric perspectives represent a highly dispersed body of knowledge’. Worldly leaders differ from global leaders in their cultural depth and understanding. They are sensitive, embracing and respectful of difference. They are curious to understand the many cultures in which they operate, and the many different worlds within worlds that make up our globe. To read Sharon's full paper, click here.
