SOIL or School of Inspired Leadership, a Gurgaon-based business school, announces its annual Inspired Leadership Conference 2016. This year, the event will involve talks on underlining the importance of establishing 'Dialogue across Differences' for developing competency in leadership roles.
The two day conference is scheduled to commence on the October 14th, 2016.
The inaugural address will be chaired by the event's key note speaker Arun Maira - former member of Planning Commission of India, and former Chairman of Boston Consulting Group (India).
For some time now, industry leaders have witnessed that differences across gender, age, ideologies, identity, income groups, etc. are some of the key reasons that have contributed in lack of competency within leadership roles.
Thus, keeping these factors in mind, SOIL decided to design this year's leadership conference around 'Dialogue across Differences', and why establishing dialogues for the same is a critical factor.
"Nowadays, almost all sectors and industries witness cut-throat competition, whether in India or around the world. Be it people or organizations, all of us are attempting to become an integral part of the elite group, i.e. the ones who lead the way. However, brutal reality is that not all of us manage to beat the odds and/or thrive under pressure," said Founder and CEO SOIL, Anil Sachdev.
"We are confident that this forum will be extremely successful in addressing all key issues regarding competence in leadership roles, and will encourage management students to seriously consider their training as the first step towards becoming future leaders," added Sachdev.
The keynote address speech on day one of the Inspired Leadership Conference will be followed by panel discussions where leaders representing various stakeholders and world views on 'Differences across Gender, Age and Hierarchy' would stimulate dialogue. These groups will adopt the 'Open Space Methodology' of dialogue and will present the essence of their output to a larger group.
The day will conclude with another panel of stakeholders on this issue, who will respond to their views by suggesting ways of channeling this conflict into innovation in work places and the community, and summarize the learning about the skill of dialogue across differences.
