The topic is: Inspirational Leadership through and beyond COVID-19
An inspirational leader serves the needs of his/her employees, listens, and develops trust. Are there international differences that make leadership comparisons difficult, or are there discernable absolute traits? Can exceptional leadership be taught? How long does it take to develop globalized management skills dedicated to inspire the future?
