    • Welcome,

      The course aims to enhance doctoral supervisors' skills and competences in  enhancing doctoral students' employability.  It is a 2 ECTS course which will provide PhD supervisors with theoretical and conceptual understanding of the concept of Authentic Leadership (AL) and train them in critical reflection and application of AL in different contexts. Why connecting leadership with PhD supervision? Because every PhD supervisor ought to ask - do I lead people or do I lead dissertations? Depending on the answer we see what skills are being trained during PhD time.

      „The original academic training model was designed as an apprentice model for a single career pathway. In that model, the faculty advisor served as a mentor, guiding each trainee towards a future position as a tenure track faculty member.“ (Sinche et al. 2017) The model needs an update!

    Intro

    (Un)authentic leadership of digital transformations?

    The recent pandemic situation showed many organizations that in order to gain resilience and change the ways of doing business, they had to embark a process of digital transformation. This process of change demanded some sort of leadership. The question is of course what kind of leadership – authentic? Crisis management? Or did it just happen because the digital “revolution” had already been there?

    Most welcome to join us for this public panel presentation and discussion where we through the eyes of academics and business leaders will discuss the leadership dimension of digital transformations.

    Per Servais, Professor International Business/Entrepreneurship at the School of Business and Economics, Linnaeus University, Sweden.
