Beyond the Title: What Actually Changes an Industry

Loading player...
The first time Professor Nellie Swart was on Africa Event Connect, she spoke about women in MICE, mentorship, and career mobility. This time she brings the research instead. With a BCom in Leadership Performance and Change and more than 75 peer-reviewed publications behind her, she looks at what actually separates leaders who create real change from those who just perform it. She pushes back on the industry congratulating itself on gender progress, points out where leadership development keeps getting it wrong, and shares some of the patterns her data keeps turning up that most organisations would rather not hear. Practical and evidence-based, not another feel-good career chat.
