Professor David Rooney from Macquarie University will talk about why values-based leadership matters for global social entrepreneurs. His lecture will consider what values-based leadership is and why is it important for social entrepreneurs. The discussion will address the importance for entrepreneurs to have a clear understanding of what their values are, in general, and what the particular values are that drive their motivation to become social entrepreneurs.
Those attending the lecture will have the opportunity to make a broad assessment of their values. The lecture will then focus on how wisdom can drive values-based leadership and how you can develop wisdom, before presenting a clear framework for how to become a values-based social enterprise leader wherever you operate.
