PUBLIC LECTURE: Leadership and the six degrees of separation - researching inclusive leadership

A public lecture by Dawn Freshwater, Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor, The University of Western Australia.

Models and theories around change management, structures and formulas, and guidelines to successful change are available in industrial quantities in the literature. What seems to be missing, in the context of how leaders facilitate and create opportunities for inclusive change to be managed successfully, is a reference to how to lead movement, which Prof Freshwater believes is a qualitatively different skill to that of managing change. Leaders who are willing to recognise the relative merits and limitations of a variety of approaches to achieve the same ends and to appreciate the co-existence of multiple truths have an opportunity to flourish and to lead the movement and change inclusively in this context. This presentation will highlight the importance of developing a dialogical approach to understanding leadership practices.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the IAS and the UWA Leadership Development for Women (LDW).
