Resilient Lincolnshire 21st Century Leadership Panel Summaries

The ’21st Century Leadership Lens – The Resilient Lincolnshire Global’ interview series delves into a leadership framework that looks at key skills and capabilities required for a 21st Century Leader. A global perspective has been captured through academia and industry.
