Paul Dowson, author of Personal and professional development for business students (2015, Sage Publications) will provide a window on professional development in the 21st Century through highlighting the growing and future significance of what we might call contextual intelligence.

The lecture will have three parts:

(i) theorising the contemporary world

(ii) developing dialogic leadership and leaders

(iii) living and working with conceptual puzzlement and other characteristics of the new age.
