We are pleased to announce the 12th Developing Leadership Capacity Conference (DLCC) will be taking place online from 12th-13th July 2022, hosted by Bristol Leadership and Change Centre at the Bristol Business School, UWE.
** Extended Deadline for Call for Contributions – 3rd May 2022 **
Theme: Leading to Care – Foregrounding Health and Well-being in Leadership Development and Education
Extreme challenges such as climate change, the Covid 19 pandemic and social inequality have a direct impact on the health and well-being of individuals and communities around the world. In this conference we challenge those that are developing and educating leaders and leadership to consider what might be done to develop a deeper sense of care and to consider the implications for organisations and societies. We are hoping to open a rich conversation that enables leadership learning to link more clearly to issues of health and well-being and to put these at the forefront of the objectives that it wishes to accomplish.
We would also like to create a constructive, collaborative space through this conference that enables us to explore issues and share ideas and practices for socially responsible leadership learning and development. Hence, we invite contributions on leadership learning, development and education that enable us as a community of practitioners and academics to critically examine leadership development and education’s role in caring for those that leaders are responsible to and having a positive impact on their well-being.
Whilst we are aiming to advance an understanding of issues of social responsibility, care, health and well-being, the conference will also welcome any other more general discussions of leadership learning, development, and education.
