#VGLForum Goes Virtual

What does successful leadership in this era of unpredictability and uncertainty look like? What do we need to change not only to keep up with transformation, but to create it?

The VGL Forum creates an open space online to discuss leadership issues with experts and leading managers, to exchange solutions and to enhance leadership skills across industries.

Most VGL Forum begin with a 15-minute presentation per speaker, and then lead into an interactive Q&A session with the audience.

Attending a VGL Forum is free.

Please read the VGL community guidelines.
