Conference on Ethics in Business – Corporate Culture & Spirituality 2008 13th – 14th November 2008 European Parliament & Sheraton Hotel, Brussels Being Bold – A key to sustainable success?
If the 20th century favored leadership styles which strongly focused on mere shareholder-value, the recent years seem to have shifted to a focus on client satisfaction. Yet, in today’s turbulent corporate world of increased complexity, extreme competition, pressure and rapid change, new leadership styles appear necessary.
How can corporations successfully deal with a fluctuating, complex and dynamic workplace which has been infused with fear and insecurity during the current financial crisis of the global market? How can a corporation enable employees and management to feel a sense of belongingness and trust, and empower them to take substantial responsibility?
This year’s conference will examine the reason for the current global financial crisis and will search for a roadmap for sustainable business. The conference will highlight leaders in society who have been bold enough to think outside the box and achieved sustainable success in their field. The conference will examine new leadership styles and consider if a paradigm shift towards a leadership which promotes strong sensitivity to the needs of all involved parties could be the key to success in our times. The conference will reflect on the financial crisis that the world has entered into this year, and stakeholders and experts will examine the reasons, lessons and solutions. In which way can a focus on human values and the noble common cause be the missing link to address today’s crisis and danger of recession; can it be a key to attract best talents, create belongingness, inspire employees and therefore assure profit and shareholder-value? |
