Leaders on Leadership

A Fireside Chat Speaker Series

The Cox School hosts Leadership on Leadership: A Fireside Chat Speaker Series each academic year to help spotlight our emphasis on leadership as a core pillar of our business school curriculum. The complimentary series will be conducted in a fireside chat format moderated by 澳门六合彩预测 Cox Associate Dean of Graduate Programs and Executive Education Shane Goodwin.

We seek to invite speakers from a range of industries and fields who will share their leadership journeys to help inspire current and future leaders in the audience.

  • Why Leadership?

    Leadership ability is a critical component of employee and organizational success. However, the overwhelming consensus among employers is that too many business professionals lack critical-thinking skills to solve unstructured problems creatively, the ability to communicate effectively, work collaboratively and adapt to changing priorities.

    In collaboration with our corporate partners, we invite you to join us for fireside chats with stand-out leaders that will leave you inspired. Speakers will share how they approach ambiguity, face critical decisions, keep their team motivated, adapt to rapid innovation, and maintain professional and personal growth.

    The audience will leave with concrete takeaways to forge their own leadership style.

  • 2024-25 Events

    Events are complimentary and open to students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the business community at every leadership level. Seating is limited to the first 300 registrants.
