Dr. Luz Longsworth, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Principal of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Open Campus will deliver the lecture on the topic 'A Teacup in a Storm: Developing Leadership Resilience in Disruptive Change'.
 
According to a release, Dr. Longsworth will examine how leaders of both large and small organizations can develop resilience to external and internal shocks caused by disruptive change, which is a constant feature of the 21st century organizational environment.  In examining a model for resilient leadership, she will also explore how leaders of any organization can create an environment where resilience means not just bouncing back from a crisis, but bouncing forward to strengthening their staff, their organizations and, by extension, the region.
 
Dr. Longsworth has over 25 years of experience in both academia and business. Her research areas include leadership development, change management and organisational development and transformation. She is also a certified trainer in leadership courses.
