Read more connected in many ways, and both with limits to scalability; fundamentally, both draw their power at the level of personal relationships.

Aimed at academics and senior personnel within industry keen to explore how to be effective in nurturing talent. The talk will present a personal reflection, drawing on management and leadership literature, on elements of values and practices that appear to be well received and effective in helping others grow and develop.
