International Leadership Conference
23rd – 26th June 2005, Lisbon, Portugal
-
This
is a four-day program, which consists of three components: study
session “the principles of leadership”, presentations of submitted
papers and open discussions. It is open to all of those interested
in gaining leadership skills and new knowledge as well as those
who want to share their own achievements since the Conference is
designed as a special training program for future leaders in
different fields. The minimum requirement is that participants
have taken at least one year of graduate university courses.
Undergraduate students may be reviewed and accepted under special
conditions and based on their academic background, CV and past
achievements.
-
International Leadership Conference provides a comprehensive and interactive program in which participants cultivate their cross-cultural, leadership and communication skills and learn about innovation, its importance and ways how to create and implement it.
-
This
program provides the participants with an analysis of leadership,
its styles and impact worldwide. Each participant should be able
to understand how different cultures, educational systems,
political, social and economical environments influence leadership
styles. Participants will learn how to motivate and lead people
coming from different cultures. You cannot use the same leadership
style in every culture and you can definitely not motivate all the
people in the same way. Different things motivate different people
and move them up into the action. This knowledge paired with the
participants' improved communication skills and leadership skills
can be a powerful tool to inflict change in their own communities
and organizations as a step towards creating good and responsible
young professionals and future leaders.
-
Overall,
the program will benefit four different groups of people: graduate
students, scholars, company representatives and community members.
Graduate students will learn and grow from the new roles they are
allowed to take on. Scholars will be exchanging their ideas, learn
about some new approaches in this field and pass on their
knowledge on to the other participants in order to help creating
future leaders but at the same time to improve their own
knowledge, leadership and communication skills. Company
representatives will gain some practical skills, learn more about
leadership and motivation, meet their colleagues from around the
world, establish new contacts and most importantly have a chance
to get some new ideas that will bring back to their companies and
communities. Community members will benefit from the knowledge and
resources that the participants bring back to their communities.
The benefits of this program will continue to affect all persons
involved for years to come.
-
This project is designed to have lasting effects on the lives of those who participate in the Conference, as well as members of their community. The young persons who participate will gain new knowledge, skills, and resources, which will enable them to improve their relative social, economic, and political positions throughout their lives. These skills and knowledge serve as a foundation for young persons to continue to improve their human capital on an ongoing basis. In turn, these students will become future leaders in different fields- journalism, business, political, and community realms—sharing their knowledge and experience with others and creating positive impacts in the community.
