About this event

  • 1 hour

Are leaders born or made? What makes for a good leader? How do circumstances shape what type of leader emerges? Professor Elias Aboujaoude puts leadership “on the couch,” with a provocative exploration of its crucial, but often ignored, psychological and personal character foundations. His distinctive exploration provides new insights on who should and should not be striving for leadership positions. Professor Aboujaoude's talk marks the launch of his new book A Leader's Destiny: Why Psychology, Personality, and Character Make All the Difference which should be available to buy afterwards and for signing by him, during the drinks reception.

This event is being hosted by the University's Institute of Mental Health Research (IMRY).
